This is a drawing of a large decorated building. Closest to us, there is a line of small figures, some walking while others stand still near a large entrance. Around them, streetlamps emits 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. In the distance, a horse is seen under the shadow of a structure extending into the background. The color palette is monochromatic, utilizing a range of grays and blacks. The sky behind the building is black.
