The image shows a city street with a tall, rectangular building in the center. The horizon features a line of buildings stretching into the distance. The buildings have multiple stories and windows, typical of city architecture. The artwork has sketch-like brushstrokes with hatching and cross-hatching for texture. The color palette is black and white. A figure is walking away, and there are barren trees on the right. The street curves in the distance, leading the eye further into the scene.
