The scene is set against a backdrop of buildings, which are partially visible. The overall atmosphere is one of activity and energy. The use of lithography in this piece adds a sense of texture and depth to the image. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of drama and tension, drawing the viewer's eye to the center of the scene. The image is a great example of Impressionism.
