This painting shows a large, light-colored building with many windows and a tall tower. It's set in a city square with people and horses around it. The sky is blue with some clouds. The building looks important, maybe a government building. There are people in old-fashioned clothes walking around, some with baskets or carts. It feels like a busy day in the city.
