The image shows a view from a slightly elevated position, looking at a walled area with buildings resembling a courtyard or street scene. The horizon line is indistinct, and the top edges of the walls and buildings form a visual boundary at the top. The drawing style is detailed and precise, using fine lines to depict architectural features and figures. The color palette is monochromatic, with shades of sepia or brownish tones. Two human figures are closest to us on the left in front of building A, which features windows on the upper floor and an arched doorway below. Across from them are buildings labeled C, D, and F, with E between D and F. Gateway G is on the right edge, connected to surrounding walls. A scroll at the top provides labels for different sections of the scene.
