The image shows a cityscape from a slightly elevated point of view. The horizon is in the middle distance, with the city skyline visible along it. A tall church tower is prominent on the horizon. Windmills are scattered to the right. The etching features precise lines detailing architectural elements and figures. The color palette is monochromatic. In the foreground, a path leads through an arched gate into the city, with figures moving within the landscape. The city skyline in the distance shows rows of buildings and rooftops under a cloudy sky.
