This artwork depicts a busy urban scene from a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon is defined by buildings and ship masts in a harbor. In the foreground, there are steps leading up to an arched bridge with figures. A tall, narrow building with shuttered windows is on the left, casting shadows. The buildings vary in height, with one featuring large arched windows. The scene is created using detailed etching lines for architectural details and figures. The palette is monochromatic in shades of sepia. In the background, tall ship masts are visible near the waterfront.
