The image is viewed from a slightly elevated perspective, overlooking a garden and a distant landscape. The drawing depicts hills, closely packed buildings, a structure with open arches and a foliage-covered roof, two tall cypress trees, a garden with trees and pathways, and a monochromatic color scheme created using varying shades of grey pencil.
