This is a drawing of a large, decorated building at the edge of a square. Closest to us, there is a line of small people, some walking around the square while others stand still near the large entrance to the building. Around them, streetlamps emit a soft glow. The facade of the building displays intricate architectural details, with arched doorways, panels, and stonework highlighted by illumination from lamps on either side. On the right, a horse is seen under the shadow of a structure extending into the background. The sky behind the building is black.
