The image is a black and white drawing of an old cityscape. The Colosseum is on the left side, a large oval-shaped building with many arches. In the foreground on the left is a balcony with a railing and two columns supporting an arch. On the right side of the image is a large stone archway. The sky has several clouds and birds flying. There are people in the scene, some standing on the balcony and others in the distance. The image has a title and some text at the bottom. The buildings in the background are a mix of old structures with varying heights and architectural styles. The image is framed by a thin border. The overall scene depicts a historic city with ancient buildings.
