The image shows a street view looking up at a tall building. The building dominates the composition, filling much of the vertical space. The horizon is not prominently featured, as the towers extend into the night sky. The artwork features charcoal brushstrokes creating a moody effect. The color palette is monochromatic, mainly greys and blacks. In the foreground, indistinct figures walk along a dimly lit street. The building's windows reflect light, and its spires rise into the darkened sky, suggesting an urban setting at night.
