The image shows an aerial view of densely packed houses with flat and gabled roofs. The horizon is not visible, as rooftops dominate the frame. The artwork is a black and white linocut, featuring bold contrasts of light and shadow with angular lines. The rooftops create geometric shapes, with a woman and a man on a ladder indicating activity. The monochrome color palette highlights the graphic composition and play of light and shadow.
