This image depicts an urban setting with a large, old apartment building in the center. The scene includes other structures such as rooftops and a bridge in the distance. The style is monochromatic, using black and white colors to emphasize contrast and shadows. The lithograph has detailed brushstrokes that convey textures of the buildings and sky. The moon in the sky adds a subtle light to the scene.
