The image depicts Wuhre street, one of Zurich's most picturesque streets running along the Limmat River. On the left rises an imposing historic building with its grey facade and regular windows, typical of 18th-century Zurich architecture. The cobblestone street leads the eye towards the colorful buildings of the old town overlooking the river. The calm waters of the Limmat reflect the surrounding buildings, while on the opposite bank the constructions of the Niederdorf district can be glimpsed. This area represents the commercial and social heart of historic Zurich, where merchants and bankers have operated for centuries.
