The horizon line is low, with mountains in the distance. The engraving showcases detailed line work for the architecture and natural elements. A rocky riverbank is in the foreground with a small figure. A tall tower rises in the city's core, with buildings extending toward the mountains. The color palette is monochromatic, predominantly brown and tan.
