A horizontally oriented etching on tan paper with sparse, sketchy lines depicts a quiet street scene. A large building with multiple chimneys dominates the center, flanked by two horses pulling a cart past a lamp post on our left. To our right, another horse stands near a wooden fence and a spindly, leafless tree. Fine lines suggest buildings receding in the distance. A butterfly-shaped mark sits in the lower left foreground.
