This is an image containing an abstract illustration of a city or structure. The drawing is done in a woodcut-style in black and white at the bottom of the page. The illustration features thick and rugged lines showcasing architectural elements like domes, staircases, and possibly city walls or buildings in an abstract, expressionist manner. Above the illustration, there is text in German which appears to be part of a poem or prose. The page is numbered "22" at the bottom and shows signs of age with some foxing or marks present on the paper.
