Horizontally composed painting of Paris, France with a view of the river Seine in the foreground. To the right, one can see the back view of Notre Dame cathedral perched on an island with connecting bridges on either side. On the left are three anchored barges, one on the river. In the distance, there is a hazy view of the city's skyline.
