The painting depicts a traditional Japanese scene. The background is a light-brown color with yellow leaves around the edges. There are multiple buildings with gray roofs and a large building with a brown roof and red accents. The buildings have multiple levels and are surrounded by walkways. People are wearing traditional Japanese clothing in various colors such as orange, blue, green, black, and red. Some people are standing, some are sitting, and others are walking. There are trees with yellow leaves and a few with green leaves. A staircase leads to a lower level with a green and white building. A boat is on a body of water in the background. The scene appears to be set in Kyoto, as indicated by the title. The style of the painting suggests it is by Hiroshige. The title of the painting is "Street Scenes in Kyoto".
