The image shows a bird's-eye view of a city. The perspective is high above the city, showing its layout and architecture. Mountains are visible in the background, separating the sky from the water. Waves can be seen on the water and a ship is sailing. The city is depicted with detailed lines to show buildings, streets, and rivers. The color scheme is mainly black and white. The city appears densely built close to the viewer, with various structures, while farther away, the view is clearer. Personified representations of winds are in the upper corners.
