A horizontally oriented woodblock in dark brown depicts an architectural scene of faceted, angular shapes. Deeply carved diagonal and horizontal lines score the background. In the center and right, gabled buildings with pointed tops rise. To the left, a larger structure features a stepped roofline above a recessed archway. Sharp planes and recessed grooves define the structures throughout, revealing the material's natural wood grain.
