A horizontally oriented lithograph depicts a massive road roller within a stylized landscape of rolling hills. Dominating the left, a large cylindrical wheel with teardrop openings reveals mechanical shadows in soft gray tones. Beyond it, a smaller wheel sits beside a town of angular houses sprinkled across the receding slopes. In the lower right corner, a small dog stands on a curb. Soft shading defines the metallic contours and the countryside under a pale sky.
