The image is a sketch of an architectural scene. A large arched frame dominates the top half. The arch has a rounded top and straight sides. It frames a view of buildings. The buildings are drawn in pencil on tan paper. The buildings have a variety of architectural features. Some have flat roofs and some have sloping roofs. There are several windows and doors visible. A tall tower with a spire and cross rises above the other buildings. A few people are standing outside. The paper is worn and aged. It has a rough texture. The edges are rough and torn in places. The background behind the paper is dark gray.
