The drawing depicts a multi-story building with a tower rising above the structure. The horizon is not shown. The tower has a pole at its peak. The architectural features are detailed with fine linework, emphasizing texture and structure. The windows, doors, and chimneys provide depth. The color palette is monochromatic, using black ink on beige paper. A wooden fence runs along the base of the building.
