The image is an engraving of a cityscape seen from an elevated point. In the foreground on the left, a large figure stands looking out over a square. Beyond him is a lively square with people, horses, and carriages. Rolling hills and distant buildings form the horizon, and the sky above is expansive. On the right, there is a tall tower with a flag and an intricate cathedral. The engraving uses fine line work to depict architectural details and the crowd. The color palette is limited to black and gray, typical of engravings.
