The image shows an elevated view of a park scene. Tall buildings form the skyline at the top of the composition. In the mid-ground, park-goers sit in tiers, watching a puppet show on a screen. The illustration features dynamic linework and shading, depicting trees and a crowd. The color scheme is monochrome with blacks and grays. People are depicted standing, walking, or sitting on benches in the foreground. Trees with leafy branches frame the scene, and urban buildings are visible in the distance.
