The drawing shows a landscape with a high horizon line. In the distance, there are geometric shapes resembling buildings or a cityscape. The sketchy pencil strokes create movement and depth. Closest to the viewer, there are curvilinear forms suggesting roads and vegetation. Trees are depicted further back. The color palette is grayscale, with varying thickness and direction of strokes. The background has more detail than the foreground, maintaining a sketch-like quality.
