The image shows a street scene with a row of buildings along a winding road. A stone building with a slanted roof and closed door is in the foreground. Chimneys emitting smoke are visible in the background. The artwork is rendered in a linear style with fine lines detailing the stone texture and smoke. The color palette is monochromatic using sepia and black tones. Two figures are seen walking in the distance on the curved path.
