The image features an archway framing a tower in the distance. The tower has a multi-tiered design and the horizon is visible at the edge of the building. The style resembles linocut or woodcut prints with sharp contrasts and cross-hatching for texture and shading. The color palette is starkly black and white. Stone details are visible on the archway. Light and dark contrast highlight the architecture.
