A leaf-strewn cobbled walkway recedes in deep one-point perspective along the river. On the left stand cream Haussmann-style buildings with shutters, wrought-iron balconies and flower boxes of rust-orange blooms, with rattan bistro chairs, a chalkboard menu sign and warm glowing lanterns below. Golden plane trees lead the eye toward a stone arched bridge and the Eiffel Tower on the right, with a few small birds in the open pale sky.

Hazy, overcast golden-hour light, gentle sepia toning and subtle paper grain give it the feel of a vintage pen-and-ink illustration. Fine cross-hatching and stippling describe stone, shutters and brickwork, softened by loose, muted watercolor washes on the leaves and sky.
