The image shows an old street with tall, narrow buildings. The vantage point is low, emphasizing the height of the structures. The horizon is suggested by the buildings extending into the distance. The etching technique includes textured line work. The color palette is primarily sepia with dark browns and ochres. Shadows cast by the buildings enhance the depth and perspective of the scene.
