This spectacular oil painting on panel depicts an autumnal scene in the Pont Marie area of ​​Paris. The bridge itself occupies the center of the composition, while the Seine River flows through the lower half, with a couple of boats navigating its waters. The river is rendered in a bluish-green hue, with visible brushstrokes suggesting the movement of the water. Furthermore, areas of deep shadow are created beneath the arches of the bridge, contrasting with the light in the background. The upper half of the painting is occupied by Parisian buildings, in front of which rises a row of trees whose brown leaves offer glimpses of the architecture. The windows and facades are not rendered with realistic precision, but rather delicately suggested.

This autumnal foliage envelops the buildings and bathes the atmosphere in a warm light that illuminates the entire scene. It is presented as a tranquil and pleasant scene in which the artist focuses on capturing the beauty of the urban landscape, without any apparent message or social commentary, an aspect that links it to Post-Impressionism. The brushstrokes are loose and visible (typical of the Impressionists), which reinforces the sense of movement and the artist's interest in the changing effect of light.
