The image shows an architectural scene with an ornate stone building featuring intricate carvings and a triangular-roofed entrance. The structure extends vertically into a tall spire topped with a cross. The drawing has fine linework showcasing detailed brickwork and decorative elements. The color scheme is monochromatic, emphasizing the contrast between dark and light. A narrow street is on the left, bordered by simpler buildings, while the building on the right has a structured pattern of windows.
