The image depicts a crowded street scene on a foggy or misty day in Montmartre, Paris, France, with the Sacré-Cœur Basilica prominently visible in the background. In the upper-center, the white domes and intricate facade of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica rise through a dense, overcast sky, its uppermost features softened by the atmospheric conditions. Directly below the basilica, a grand staircase ascends a green, manicured hillside, with scattered trees and a few individuals traversing the steps. To the immediate left of the stairs, a traditional carousel with a light blue-green roof and golden figures is partially visible, appearing to be operational or recently used. On the right side of the frame, a multi-story, light-colored building, typical of Parisian architecture, dominates the foreground. This building features multiple windows with black wrought-iron balconies. Perched on a ledge or awning above a ground-floor shop entrance are several decorative rooster and chicken figurines. The shop below has a red awning and a green fascia; its entrance is partially shuttered but reveals some internal items, including what appears to be festive decorations. The lower half of the image is densely populated with numerous pedestrians, mostly dressed in winter clothing, congregating around the carousel and the base of the stairs leading to the basilica. Their actions are primarily walking and standing, with no clear specific interactions discernible. Trees on the far left side of the scene are largely bare, suggesting a late autumn or winter period.
