The image centers on the tall metal tower, which rises from behind the river and bridge to dominate the middle of the frame. The viewer looks up at the structure from a low position across the water, where several boats sit. Thick, leafy branches hang from the top and sides, acting as a natural border that surrounds the distant landmark. The composition uses these overhanging leaves to create a sense of depth between the foreground greenery and the large structure in the background.

The color scheme is limited to light brown and beige tones for the tower, water, and trees, set against a pale turquoise sky. This choice of shades gives the entire scene a uniform, aged appearance. While the tower is the largest object, the fine details of its metal lattice work are visible against the flat color of the sky. The horizontal lines of the bridge and the river surface provide a steady base for the tall, tapering shape of the tower.

This piece belongs to a series that includes a monochrome version of the same scene, offering a different take on the classical impression of the city.
