The image depicts a cityscape from an elevated perspective. Buildings stack against the horizon under a textured sky. Bold black outlines and high contrasts give it a woodcut or linocut style. Streets, bridges, trees, and figures populate the urban landscape. Various buildings of different heights and shapes form the skyline, while the swirling clouds in the sky add movement.
