The image shows a street view from a low angle. The structures are lined up horizontally across the middle of the image, with rooftops and chimneys silhouetted against the sky. It is a woodcut with bold, linear forms and strong contrasts. The color palette is monochromatic, with sharp black lines against a white background. Closest to the viewer are ground clutter, debris, wooden fences, and what might be scattered heaps. In the distance are a row of wooden houses with distinctively shaped roofs, leafless trees, and a vertical powerline.
