A horizontally oriented etching in black ink on beige paper looks over a river toward a crowded city. In the foreground, small figures row boats across water rendered with horizontal etched lines. Behind them, timber-framed houses with pointed gables patterned with straight lines and dense hatching stretch across the middle ground. On the left, a massive stone arch spans the water. Faint plumes of smoke curl from chimneys into a pale sky.
