The image shows a building structure from an angled perspective looking down at an enclosed courtyard or between rooftops. The brushstrokes are broad and expressive, outlining the geometric shapes of the roofs and walls in black and white with shades of gray. Shadows and light areas suggest dimension and sunlight. Vegetation is also depicted with bold strokes.
