The image displays a high-angle view of a tall building made of stone or concrete. The base of the building suggests the horizon. The building dominates the composition, reaching upwards into the sky. Fine etching lines define the architectural details, including windows and decorative elements. The color scheme is black and white. Electrical wires and poles intersect with the building's vertical lines. Small human figures are shown near the building. Sparse vegetation, resembling palm trees, is present at the ground level.
