The image showcases a grand building with classical architecture, featuring a prominent portico and numerous windows. The photograph provides a glimpse into the urban landscape of Amsterdam during the mid-19th century, highlighting the city's architectural development and the bustling activity on the street. The presence of a horse-drawn carriage and figures adds a sense of everyday life to the scene.
