A black and white engraving of the park and City Hall as seen from an elevated perspective. There's a woman on a balcony in the immediate foreground to the left with whom we share this spectacular view of City Hall at sunset. The classically inspired City Hall building stands to the left of the luminous sun as it sets, putting the park into shadow. People gather in the street outside the bounded perimeter of the park.
