The image displays the upper section of the Basel Town Hall (Rathaus) in Basel, Switzerland, under a clear blue sky. Dominating the upper center is an ornate, gilded spire, tapering to a point and featuring intricate openwork, finials, and a visible bell within its belfry section. Below the spire, a steeply pitched roof is visible, covered in patterned tiles of dark green/black, white, and red, forming a mosaic-like arrangement. Along the lower part of the frame, a distinct red facade with a crenellated parapet is featured. A full-length statue of a knight in shining silver-colored armor stands centrally on this parapet. The knight possesses a beard, wears a helmet, and holds a long spear or staff with a white banner displaying a dark, stylized, possibly serpentine or dragon-like emblem. A gold-colored sword is sheathed at his left hip. To the right of the knight, several heraldic shields or escutcheons are affixed to the red parapet, each bearing distinct emblems such as a black bull's head, a white shield with a black figure, and other varied designs. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight, accentuating the gold elements and the textures of the roof tiles and facade.
