The image shows a view through a large archway onto a cobblestone street with buildings. The point of view is slightly elevated, allowing a look down the street. The scene includes figures engaged in activities. The implied horizon is formed by the rooftops of buildings in the distance, sloping downward away from the arch. The brushwork is detailed, with fine lines depicting textures and forms. The color palette is monochromatic in shades of brownish sepia. People are shown in motion, creating a lively street scene with intricate urban details. Small figures are outlined above the scene.
