The image depicts an urban waterfront scene in Strasbourg, France, specifically at the Presqu'île André Malraux, overlooking the Bassin d'Austerlitz or Canal du Rhône au Rhin. The perspective is tilted, with a clear to partly cloudy blue sky visible at the top. In the foreground and midground, a body of dark, rippled water occupies the majority of the frame. Along the left bank, a multi-story white building with rectangular windows and decorative elements, including a yellow "M" sign and text on its facade, stands prominently. Adjacent to it and further along the quay is a large, modern building distinguished by a sloped, multi-paneled glass facade, identifiable as the Médiathèque André Malraux. Moored directly in front of this glass building is a white, two-story houseboat, likely "La Barge," with a dark roof and white awnings covering an upper deck seating area. Approximately 5-7 individuals are visible seated on this upper deck, engaged in leisure or dining. On the opposite bank, several tall, dark-colored modern residential towers with balconies rise against the skyline. Interspersed among these structures are green trees and foliage. A bridge structure spans the waterway in the distance, and another smaller, dark boat or barge is moored further down. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight, casting subtle reflections on the water.
