The image depicts a daytime scene along the Ill River in Strasbourg, France, specifically looking southwest towards the Petite France quarter and the Barrage Vauban area. The sky is partially overcast with white and grey clouds, revealing patches of blue. The Ill River occupies the central and lower portions of the frame, its surface rippled and reflecting the sky. On the left bank (northwest), a multi-story building with a light-colored facade and dark roof extends over the water with distinct arches at its base. A small boat, possibly a tourist vessel, with a red and white stripe, is partially visible beneath these arches. Further along the left bank, a series of historic buildings with varied architectural styles, including a yellow-ochre half-timbered structure, line the river. A cascade or weir system is visible in the mid-distance where the river flows between buildings. On the right bank (southeast), a prominent multi-story brick-red building with a distinctive stepped gable roof and a small green domed turret stands. Its facade features numerous rectangular windows. In front of this building, several bare deciduous trees with dark, twisted branches extend over a narrow, unpaved pathway. A low stone wall separates the path from the water. Two individuals are visible on the pathway in the mid-distance; one is wearing a red jacket, the other a dark one. Several park benches are spaced along the path. In the background, a stone bridge spans the river, beyond which additional city buildings are discernible. A distant spire, likely from the Église Saint-Thomas, rises above the rooftops. A single white bird is in flight in the upper-center sky.
