The charcoal drawing depicts a construction site. The point of view is at ground level, showing the site extending towards the horizon. The structures, workers, and scaffolding are prominent against a dark night sky. Vigorous charcoal strokes create texture and movement. The color palette is monochromatic, mainly black and gray. Workers are visible in the foreground, with more figures and structures fading into the background.
