The canvas presents a stunning panoramic view of Avignon, capturing the city from the right bank of the Rhône River. Bathed in soft, golden light, the scene evokes a sense of tranquility and reverence for nature's beauty. The foreground is lively, with figures engaged in various activities—some casting nets into the water, while others converse as they navigate the small boats that gently sway on the river. The artist beautifully blends these human elements with the shimmering waters, creating a harmonious balance between man and nature.

In the background, the majestic architectural forms of Avignon dominate the skyline, punctuated by the iconic ramparts and towers. These structures, rendered in warm tones, appear to absorb the sunlight, standing resilient against the backdrop of an expansive sky filled with billowing clouds. The artist's use of a cool color palette countered with warmer highlights creates depth and draws the viewer’s eye across the composition. The emotional impact of the piece lies in its serene ambiance and the way it invites reflection on the relationship between the people and their environment, making it a significant representation of 18th-century landscape painting.
