A horizontally oriented lithograph in black ink depicts a city square at night. On our left, a grand stone arch stands illuminated by a streetlamp as a double-decker bus passes beneath. A gnarled, leafless tree anchors the right, its limbs twisting across a dark, hatched sky. Figures include a person on a bench and a standing couple. To our right, a car passes buildings with glowing windows. Smudged tones create depth.
