The image shows a series of buildings on a cliff. The buildings have angular facades and are closely packed along the edge of the cliff. There is no visible horizon, focusing on the cliff and the structures. The artwork emphasizes detailed lines for texture on the rock formations and buildings. The color palette is muted with primarily sepia tones. The rock formations have layers and appear as terraces with sporadic vegetation. In the distance, the cliff continues downwards and an arched viaduct is partially visible.
