The image depicts a high vantage point looking down at a wide road. The horizon is not visible, emphasizing the vertical depth of the city scene. Fine, linear brushstrokes give a textured appearance to the road and buildings. Some buildings with windows and sparse architectural details flank the road. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of black, white, and gray. Vehicles can be seen in the distance moving along the road.
