On the stairs, there are also smaller figures looking on towards the descending large figure. The style of the drawing is detailed with fine lines suggesting the texture of the stone and intricacy of the architecture. The drawing is signed by the artist in the lower right corner, and there is a fraction, possibly indicating the print number, in the lower left corner.

The image is a black and white print or etching on a light beige or off-white background. The print depicts a monumental, possibly Gothic-style, building or cathedral with intricate architectural details.

The architectural details of the building behind the figure are quite elaborate, featuring arches, spires, windows, and decorative elements that are characteristic of Gothic architecture. The perspective of the building suggests a sense of grandeur and imposing scale.
