The image depicts the bronze equestrian statue of Louis XIV situated in Place Bellecour, Lyon, France. The central subject is the dark-toned statue of King Louis XIV, mounted on a horse in a prancing pose, with one front hoof and one hind hoof raised. The king is depicted wearing classical attire, including a draped cloak. The statue rests on a prominent, light-colored stone pedestal, which bears the inscription "LOUIS XIV," "ROY DE FRANCE," and the years "1638 - 1715."

The sky is overcast with heavy, grey clouds dominating the upper portion of the frame. In the background, on both sides of the pedestal, are multi-story, classical-style buildings with numerous windows, typical of the architecture surrounding the square. Green trees are visible behind the left side of the pedestal. The ground in the foreground is paved. To the lower left, one individual is seated on a low stone structure, wearing a dark top and light trousers, facing right. Further in the background, near both sides of the pedestal, are structures composed of wooden frames draped with brightly colored fabric in shades of orange, yellow, and red. Indistinct human figures are scattered in the distant background.
