The image depicts the semi-circular Cour d'Honneur (Court of Honor) of the Palais Royal in Paris, France. A grand, light-colored stone colonnade curves from left to right across the midground, featuring numerous classical columns supporting an upper balustrade. Behind this balustrade, classic Parisian rooftops with dormer windows and chimneys are visible, interspersed with green trees, under a partially cloudy sky with patches of blue. Four individuals, appearing as adult males dressed in dark attire, stand together on a raised section behind a smaller balustrade within the colonnade on the left. Strong sunlight casts distinct shadows from the columns and architectural elements, illuminating parts of the structure while leaving other areas, including arched entrances, in shadow. The foreground shows a paved ground surface, and a dark gate or barrier is present on the right.
