This painting shows a large fountain in the center of a city square. The fountain features a statue of a man holding a trident, standing on a pedestal. Water flows from the pedestal into a large basin below. People are gathered around the fountain, some standing and others sitting on its edge. In the background, there are several buildings, including a large tan building with many windows. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the architecture and the people. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and gray dominating the scene.
