The image shows a landscape scene from a slightly elevated point of view looking into a valley. The horizon line is at the top edge of the drawing with hills or mountains in the distance. There is a structure among trees, depicted with detailed lines. The style is similar to a woodcut or engraving with stark black and white contrasts, cross-hatching, and line work for depth. The trees have swirling lines and the buildings are more structured. The color palette is black ink on a beige page for tonal contrast.
