The couple in the foreground admire the night view of the lit up city. The curving tree branches serve as a frieze.

I would assume that the people who saw this painting when it was fIrst painted would have included people who would not have been able to see this same sight with a city so lit up at dusk because there had not yet been electric lights throughout the city.
