The image depicts a silhouetted view of the Peter and Paul Fortress in Saint Petersburg, Russia, at sunset. Two large trees in the foreground cast dark shadows across the scene, framing a distant view of the fortress's spire, which is illuminated by the setting sun. The sky transitions from a pale blue at the top to a warm orange and yellow near the horizon, with streaks of clouds visible. Several other buildings and lampposts are visible in the middle ground, also silhouetted against the sky. A low hedge runs across the middle of the image, partially obscuring the lower portions of the buildings. The foreground is dark, with a patch of grass illuminated by the last rays of sunlight. There are no people visible in the image.
