The image shows a street view from an elevated perspective with a railing on the right side. The horizon is low, featuring distant buildings softly lit against the night sky. The artwork is monochrome with cross-hatched brushstrokes, creating depth and shadow. A sign reading "Pop's Tavern" hangs above the sidewalk. Figures walk along the street, illuminated by dim lighting from street lamps and building windows. The color palette consists mainly of blacks, whites, and greys, depicting a city scene at night.
