The image shows a top-down view of a rocky outcrop with two wooden structures on top. The horizon is high, aligned with the rooftops. The drawing style resembles an etching with fine linear brushstrokes, creating texture. The color scheme is monochromatic in black, brown, and cream. There is water reflecting vegetation, with people and boats nearby. In the distance, another building with a pointed roof is visible. The sky has large, rounded clouds.
