The image shows a street scene with buildings and people. The perspective is from a direct point of view at the corner of a street. The tops of the buildings form the horizon and emphasize the tall facades. Detailed, fine lines illustrate building textures and human activities. The color palette is monochromatic with various shades of gray for light and shadow. Figures are seen near us engaged in various activities. The buildings in the background show windows and architectural elements, extending into the distance.
