The image displays an oval-framed street view of an urban scene. The view looks down a narrow, cobblestone street from a slightly elevated position. A woman in period attire stands near a building on the left. The buildings lean inwards as they rise, creating a vertical perspective. The horizon line is not visible, but figures can be seen walking towards the end of the street where there is a light opening. The artwork is in an etching style with cross-hatched shading for depth and texture. The color palette is monochromatic with sepia tones. The brushwork is precise, emphasizing architectural details and building textures.
