The image shows a town with an elevated view. The horizon is above the center line, with buildings, clouds, and gabled rooftops with chimneys emitting smoke. In the distance to the right, two windmills stand out. The image is an etching with fine lines, giving it a detailed quality. The color palette is monochromatic in black and gray, emphasizing architectural features and activity. A canal reflects buildings, while people and a horse are seen by the riverbank in the distance.
