The image depicts a narrow street with tall buildings on both sides. A rectangular building with a slanted roof is seen on the left, near a group of figures by an open doorway. In the middle distance to the right, a prominent minaret with a pointed top stands out. The horizon line is low, meeting a hilly landscape in the far distance filled with buildings. The artwork features precise linework typical of woodcut prints, with cross-hatching creating depth and shadow. The color palette is monochromatic, using the paper's natural color and dark ink lines for a dramatic effect.
