A horizontally oriented etching depicts a riverside town with stone buildings. On the left, a wide stone arch spans the water. In the center, gabled houses sit atop a rugged, rocky bank, fine lines and cross-hatching defining their textures. Thick, dark foliage clings to the walls. The foreground features calm water with horizontal reflections. Dense hatching creates deep shadows across the craggy rocks and architecture throughout this intricate composition.
