The image depicts a city street scene with horse-drawn carriages moving along a wet street reflecting the surroundings. In the distance, buildings are visible with smoke rising from chimneys. The brushstrokes are detailed, creating a textured portrayal of the scene with a hazy atmosphere. The color palette is sepia and gray, enhancing the historical vibe. People with umbrellas and a street lamp are also present in the scene.
