The image depicts a street in Rome, with buildings lining a curving road leading into the city. The drawing is in a monochrome palette, highlighting the architectural details. A path with stones and shadows leads up, flanked by buildings. A figure stands at the entrance of one building. The horizon is subtly portrayed where the street converges in the distance. Buildings and an Italian pine tree are in the distance. Soft clouds fill the sky, contrasting with the buildings. Tall trees and a stone tower are on the right side of the composition.
