The image depicts a cityscape drawn from a street-level perspective, with tall buildings dominating the view. The lack of a distinct horizon line suggests high structures. Buildings are detailed with pencil strokes, showcasing an impressionistic style. A church with gothic architecture is visible in the center right. Figures in the foreground are loosely sketched, hinting at motion. The monochrome palette consists of varying shades of grey.
