This print depicts a covered alleyway with columns, a low ceiling, and streetlamps. Near the upper right corner is a sign that reads "Calle della," the rest of it obscured by an overhang. The viewpoint is slightly raised, allowing a view down the interior of the alleyway, which includes receding arches and columns. There is an exit or another street visible in the distance on the left, where some shapes might indicate people.
