The architecture features buildings with pitched roofs, detailed windows, and a mix of half-timbered and solid facades. In the foreground, there are people walking, standing, or interacting, giving the impression of a lively urban setting. One individual appears to be pushing a cart or wheelbarrow. Several bicycles are lined up along the walls of the buildings. The central structure visible in the background might be a large church or town hall, as it has steeples and a distinct roofline.
