The image shows an architectural composition viewed from a central perspective. The street and buildings lead towards the horizon, which is in the center. Two large, ornate buildings flank the sides, creating symmetry. In the distance, there is an arched structure on the horizon line. The artwork uses detailed line work and shading, giving it a monochromatic appearance in tones of sepia and grey. Figures are seen in a procession, adding a narrative element to the scene. The sky has linear cloud forms above the architecture.
