A vertically oriented print in black ink on cream paper looks down a narrow street toward a Gothic church. Flanking buildings cast dense shadows across foreground cobblestones, while intricate hatching and cross-hatching define the sunlit stone walls and pointed windows. On the left, a slender spire topped with a bird rises; a larger tower with a clock face stands to the right. Handwritten text marks the lower right margin.
