The image shows a city square with several figures engaged in various activities. A large figure stands in the foreground, overlooking the scene. A cathedral with a tall bell tower is on the right, and in the distance are rolling hills and other city structures. The artwork uses fine linework to depict architecture and the crowded square. It is rendered in black ink on cream paper, highlighting the details and symmetry of the composition.
