This drawing is a sketch of a town next to a body of water. On the left, a path leads towards the buildings in the center, lined with a low fence. The town in the distance includes buildings of various sizes and shapes, including some towers and domes. One building at the end of the path has smoke curling from its chimney. On the right, a large, dark tower is at the end of a strip of land that juts into the water. Boats can be seen by the shore. There are low hills in the background under the empty sky. The drawing is done in soft gray lines on beige paper.
