The image shows a street scene from an oblique angle, capturing the intersection of two streets. The horizon is high, and power lines form a geometric pattern in the sky. Close to the viewer, a sidewalk and curbing lead into a sloping street where a classic car is parked. The car is on the left side of the street, partly obscured by a pole, with buildings lining the street. A "TEXAS" sign is visible on a pole in the distance at the crossroad. The style features fine strokes that give a photographic quality to the scene in a monochromatic palette dominated by soft shades of gray.
