This painting shows a bustling city scene. The Quai Boieldieu in Rouen is depicted, with people walking along the street and horse-drawn carriages passing by.

In the foreground, a group of people are gathered near a building, while in the background, the city stretches out, with buildings and trees visible. The artist has used a sense of depth and perspective to create a sense of space and distance.
