The scene features a wide river with dark water under an overcast sky, with St. Isaac's Cathedral visible in the distance, its golden dome standing out. A bridge spans the river, with cars and other vehicles driving across. On the left, a stone embankment curves along the river's edge, with people walking along the pavement. There is a small green-roofed structure with yellow walls, as well as street lamps lining the edge of the embankment. The general environment appears to be urban.
