The image shows a view from below looking up a set of stone steps that ascend diagonally to the right. Structures like a railroad signal post and telephone poles are seen against the sky. The brushwork involves textured charcoal strokes to create shadows. The color scheme is monochromatic with black and gray tones for contrast. Details of foliage and stonework are visible close by, leading to a pathway with sunlight in the distance. Utility poles and shadowed buildings are in the background.
