In front of the building a road runs parallel to the water where horse-drawn carriages, mounted riders, and groups of walking figures move or stand. The river foreground is busy with various small boats and barges, some carrying barrels or bundled cargo, and several figures rowing or handling ropes and goods. Along the shoreline there are piles of material, scattered figures working, and a low retaining wall with openings. The overall image is detailed with architectural façades, rooflines, windows, and chimneys, and the water surface is rendered with fine horizontal strokes showing reflections and movement.
