The image depicts the Grand Hôtel in Stockholm, Sweden, as seen from across the water on a clear, sunny day. The water in the foreground is dark and rippled, reflecting the daylight. Behind the water, a low, stone embankment runs the length of the frame. Pedestrians stroll along the embankment. Behind that, the Grand Hôtel dominates the view. The hotel is a grand, multi-story building with a pale-yellow facade. Rows of windows, each with small awnings, line each floor. Balconies with flowers are visible on some floors. A light-green roof tops the hotel, adorned with ornate decorations. Several flagpoles are evenly spaced along the roof, each bearing a different national flag, including the Swedish flag at the center. To the left and right of the Grand Hôtel are other buildings of varying heights and architectural styles, also in light colors. Above all this, a bright blue sky fills the upper portion of the frame.
