The image displays the Grand Place in Brussels, Belgium, under an overcast sky. The Brussels Town Hall (Hôtel de Ville), a large Gothic edifice constructed from grey stone, occupies the left side of the frame. It features a prominent, asymmetrical central spire culminating in a golden statue, numerous smaller turrets, intricate carvings, statues within niches, and arched windows. A clock face is visible on the lower left portion of the Town Hall's facade. Flags are displayed on the building. To the right, a series of ornate, multi-story guildhalls with decorative facades line the square. The ground is paved with dark cobblestones, appearing damp or wet, reflecting the dull light. Numerous individuals are present in the square; many are observed walking, and several pedestrians are holding open umbrellas of various colors (e.g., blue, brown, black), indicating recent or ongoing precipitation. One pigeon is visible on the cobblestones in the foreground. No vehicles are present.
