A path leads to a gate on the left side of the image. Trees and bushes grow along the wall and in the foreground. People are walking on a path in the foreground. Buildings with steeply pitched roofs and steeples are visible in the background. The sky is light-colored and featureless. The drawing is signed in the bottom-left corner.
