A square print in black ink depicts a cluster of high-contrast, blocky buildings. On the left, a white gabled structure rises toward a thick crescent in the upper left corner. A narrow tower rises behind smaller forms in the center. To the right, a dark house is punctuated by light square windows. Grainy, stippled marks texture the surrounding space, while thick horizontal strokes define a foreground cast largely in shadow.
