A horizontally oriented print in gray ink on off-white paper depicts a skyline of jagged rooftops. Sketchy lines form crowded, irregular structures that rise on the left and right. In the foreground, numerous small chimneys, poles, and slanted roofs are scattered across a flat plane. Sparse dotted lines reach into the blank sky. A signature marks the bottom right corner. Fine, frenetic strokes texture the scene against the pale paper.
