This is a drawing of an architectural street scene. The drawing depicts a balcony with a wrought iron railing attached to a cylindrical building corner. A street sign reading "ROYAL ST." is prominently displayed alongside a streetlamp. Birds are flying in a partly cloudy sky. A banner in the bottom right corner reads "CONWAY'S COURT." The use of hatching and fine line work adds texture to the illustration.
