The image features a sketch of an urban scene viewed frontally, showcasing various architectural structures with figures and carriages in the foreground. The skyline is created by the tops of buildings. In the middle ground, there is a church spire with surrounding buildings of different styles and heights. The sketch is done in fluid, loose brushstrokes, creating an impressionistic style. The color scheme is monochromatic, using black lines of varying intensity on light paper for depth and texture. Taller skyscrapers in the distance are depicted with simpler, angular shapes.
