The scene is quite detailed, showing a variety of buildings that resemble ancient or medieval architecture, with multiple structures featuring arched openings, domes, and towers.

The settlement is situated on varied terrain with some areas at higher elevations, possibly on hills or cliffs, enhancing the depth and complexity of the scene.

This style is characteristic of illustrations from books or documents dating from the Renaissance to the 18th century, often used to convey the features of different geographies or as part of historical records.
