A vertically oriented etching in black ink on beige paper depicts a dense urban landscape. In the foreground, a dark barge rests in the water below a stone quay. Figures with wavy outlines carry a stretcher, while a crowd leans over a high wall. Fine, hatched lines define tall buildings in the background. Thick, dark smoke and a lighter plume billow from chimneys across a sky filled with thin, horizontal lines.
