The image shows an architectural scene with various structures rising into the distance. Shadows from the night setting obscure the horizon. A large tower with repetitive windows dominates the scene. Stairs lead to the buildings in the foreground, while structures further back are silhouetted. A palm tree is visible on the right. The color palette is black and white, using stippling to create depth. The use of light and shadow gives the artwork a dramatic quality.
