The image depicts a sketch of a building viewed from a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon is not clearly defined, but the top edge of the buildings gives a sense of the skyline. The image features clean lines and shaded textures hinting at the materials and structure of the architecture. The brushstrokes are minimalistic, emphasizing the shapes of the chimneys and rooftop additions. The color palette is sepia, giving the drawing a classic appearance. The closest architecture is detailed, with lines indicating windows and stonework, while the rest of the building recedes into the composition. The sky and open spaces are mostly blank, focusing attention on the building.
