The image displays a narrow street in Morlaix, observed from a slightly elevated angle, facing down the street. Historic buildings with intricate facades and steep roofs line both sides of the street. The horizon is at the end of the road, with faint figures visible in the middle. The artwork features detailed linework to capture the architectural elements and atmosphere. It uses a monochromatic color scheme of grays and blacks to highlight light and shadow contrasts. Additional buildings are seen in the distance, extending the urban scene. Close-up, the street is depicted with sketched lines, adding to the historical depth.
