The image depicts a dimly lit passage or alleyway leading to a sunlit street. The skyline is composed of distant buildings, and the artwork uses a technique reminiscent of etching or engraving with dark, fine lines and cross-hatching. The color palette is monochromatic in varying shades of black and gray. In the foreground, two figures are embraced under a darkened archway. The street extends into the background with brighter light indicating an open sky, and a street lamp is visible on the right side.
