The image displays a landscape with a settlement in the foreground and a castle on a hill in the background. The horizon is low, just above the buildings' roofs, highlighting the steep rise of the hill. The castle atop the hill is the focal point. The artwork uses etching lines to depict texture and detail in black ink on paper, creating a monochromatic color scheme for depth and contrast.
