A sketch of an urban landscape viewed from above. The horizon is positioned near the top third of the image, with a bridge and skyline outlined. The cityscape is depicted with simple, linear shapes and suggestions of skyscrapers. The sketch is created with loose, freehand brushstrokes in black on cream-colored paper. Details closer to the viewer are less defined than those in the distance, and there are abstract elements in the sky.
