The image is a black and white photograph of a large, ornate building with multiple arched windows and balconies. The building appears to be a hotel or a palace, as there are several horse-drawn carriages parked on the street in front of it. The street is lined with trees and there are a few people walking on the sidewalk. The sky is overcast and the ground is wet, suggesting that it has recently rained. The photograph is taken from a low angle, looking down on the building and the street.
