Black and white etching of a landscape with a cityscape in the background. The cityscape features several buildings. In the background, a group of ghostly figures floats in the air. The ghostly figures appear to be moving from the city towards a bright light. The sky is dark and cloudy. A bird flies in the foreground. The overall scene depicts a somber and eerie atmosphere. The artist's style suggests an etching created in a realistic or possibly romanticized manner. The work is titled "The Spirits from the Cities of the Dead" by Félix Hilaire Buhot.
