The image shows a cityscape across a body of water with buildings along the waterfront. A church with a rose window and spires is prominent. The sky has dynamic clouds. The etching has fine lines and shading to depict the city scene with windows, rooftops, and architectural details. There are figures and animals near the water. Additional buildings are visible in the distance. The artwork is primarily monochromatic with a focus on light and shadow for depth.
