A horizontally oriented cancelled copper plate in warm brown tones depicts a cityscape etched in thin white lines. Densely packed architectural forms, including pointed rooftops and chimneys, fill the lower half, with taller structures rising along the left edge. The upper half is mostly open, showcasing vertical streaks and a variegated metallic texture. A faint horizontal scratch across the top indicates the plate's cancellation.
