A vertically oriented etching depicts a narrow street where a cylindrical turret with a pointed roof and climbing vines is centered. To the left, a stone building features windows with small panes. In the lower foreground, small figures and a horse gather near stone steps. Dense cross-hatching creates deep shadows across the facades, while smoke rises from tall chimneys in the background against a textured, cloudy sky.
