A vertical lithograph depicts a bustling Granada street scene. A large stone archway spans the center, narrowing before meeting at a perspective-giving point. To the right, a domed shrine with a crucifix is inscribed "AVE MARIA". In the foreground, oxen pull a cart toward us, while men in capes stand near buildings with balconies. Fine, etched lines and gray washes create deep shadows and streaked light throughout the architectural print.
