The image depicts a nighttime scene in Strasbourg, France, specifically within the European Quarter, likely viewed from across the Ill River or a connecting canal. The foreground consists of a paved, reddish-brown pathway running diagonally from the lower-left corner upwards, parallel to a dark expanse of unkempt grass that occupies the lower half of the frame. The grass shows minimal illumination. In the midground, beyond the grassy bank, is a dark, horizontal strip consistent with a body of water, subtly reflecting ambient light. Silhouetted against the illuminated background are several bare deciduous trees, indicating a dormant season. Two indistinct human figures are visible near the center-left, standing at the edge of the water, proximate to a single, small red light source on the ground. Their actions are not discernable. The background is dominated by a complex of large, modern buildings, brightly illuminated. To the left, a multi-story building with a rounded or curved facade features numerous brightly lit rectangular windows. A prominent vertical section on this building's left side emits a distinct green light. Adjacent to its right is another multi-story building with multiple illuminated windows. On the far right, a taller, more slender building presents a grid pattern of uniformly lit square windows across its visible facade. The sky above is dark and featureless.
