The image is a cityscape viewed from a riverbank. The horizon is high, showing the city's architecture. Features include twin cathedral towers, likely Notre Dame, standing out amidst buildings. The drawing style has fine brushstrokes highlighting architectural details. The color palette is sepia-toned, giving an antique feel. A small boat is by the riverbank, and stacked materials are visible. Building reflections in the water cause ripples.
