A vertically oriented print in bold black ink on beige paper depicts a scene of destruction in high contrast. In the foreground, a woman clutches a child while facing right, standing near two figures lying on the ground. Behind her, thick, swirling black strokes suggest smoke and fire rising above a town with thin gothic spires in the upper right. Handwritten text in the bottom margin reads "L'incendie de Louvain."
