A vertically oriented etching and aquatint with fine grain texture depicts a night cityscape in muted blue and pale yellow. In the foreground, dark trees and stone walls overlook a street. A Chesterfield billboard illuminates buildings on the left, while dark cars travel under an elevated track on the right. A tall skyscraper rises in the center, its pointed top radiating a hazy, circular glow against the dark sky.
