The image depicts a scene within the Parc Monceau, Paris, France, specifically featuring the Naumachie. The foreground shows a calm pond with ripples reflecting the surrounding environment under a clear, bright blue sky. A large weeping willow tree with mostly bare, long, yellowish-brown branches stands prominently on the left-center, extending over a small, verdant island in the middle of the pond. In the water, multiple ducks are present; two dark-feathered ducks are visible in the immediate foreground, and additional darker avian figures are further back. A single white bird swims near the vegetated island. The background features classical architectural elements: a long, light-colored colonnade with pillars extends across the mid-ground, partially obscured by trees. To the right, another structure resembling a classical temple ruin with visible columns is present. Behind these elements, a multi-story, light-toned building with numerous windows and a mansard roof, typical of Haussmannian architecture, is visible. Surrounding the pond and architectural features are other bare deciduous trees, indicating a late autumn or winter season. The scene is illuminated by direct sunlight, casting reflections on the water.
