A large, sepia-toned drawing divided into two panels side by side. The left panel depicts a city square with a large, curved building in the background and a body of water in front of it. In the foreground, multiple horse-drawn carriages are shown. The right panel is blank with handwritten text in the center and a circular stamp near the bottom. The paper in both panels is aged with darker spots throughout.
