The image depicts the Handschoenmarkt in Antwerp, Belgium, at nighttime. The dominant feature is the intricately detailed, illuminated Gothic spire of the Cathedral of Our Lady, prominently visible in the upper right quadrant of the frame, showcasing its clock face. To the left and below the cathedral, a row of multi-story buildings with traditional Flemish gabled facades (including step-gables and neck-gables) line the street. Many of these buildings are illuminated, highlighting their architectural details. One gabled building on the left features a golden finial at its apex. In the foreground and mid-ground, an outdoor urban space is visible, furnished with tables and dark, folded outdoor umbrellas, suggesting restaurant or café seating areas. A streetlamp with a warm light source is centrally positioned in the mid-ground. Red and orange banners with white or yellow text/logos are vertically displayed from several buildings; one red banner partially displays "De Verzoen[ing]," and a sign for "LACO'S" is visible on a building to the right. A few indistinct human figures are visible on the far left, near the entrance of a brightly lit storefront. The sky is a deep, uniform dark blue, indicative of night.
