The artwork depicts a panoramic view of Constantinople from a distant perspective. The horizon is placed high in the image, showcasing a cityscape filled with densely packed buildings. Architectural elements include a prominent dome and minarets in the cityscape. The style is characterized by delicate and precise line work, giving the scene a sketch-like quality. The color palette is muted, consisting mainly of shades of gray. In the water close to us, small boats are visible, while larger ships are stationed near the city.
