A horizontally oriented pencil drawing on light paper depicts a dense cityscape of rooftops and spires rendered in thin lines. Small, crowded structures cluster on the left, while taller buildings climb upward on the right. In the lower half, several cylindrical shapes stand near a rectangular, tent-like form. Faint, angled perspective lines extend into the large, empty space filling the upper half of the composition.
