The painting depicts south side of Prague Castle. On the far left are the towers of Daliborka Tower and Black tower, which mark the end of the southern wing of the castle. In the background on the right side of the picture, the spires of St. Vitus Cathedral rise up.

The terrace of Queen Anne's Summer Palace serves as an observation point. Queen Anna’s Summer house (also called Belvedere) is the purest Renaissance architecture outside the Italian territory. It was built after a project and model of an Italian builder and stonemason Paolo della Stella in a style of Italian Renaissance by the builder Giovanni Spatio, who was succeeded by G. Maria del Pambio.
