This image is a black and white etching, which depicts an urban night scene. It has a dramatic and moody atmosphere. In the composition, tall buildings tower into a dark sky. Their windows are mostly dark, with a few exceptions where light is visible, suggesting some activity within. The architecture varies, with the buildings having different external textures and window patterns. A prominent feature in the middle ground is a sloping structure, possibly a wooden staircase or walkway, connecting two parts of a building or two different elevated areas. Numerous thick lines, which might represent power cables or ropes, cut across the scene, adding to the sense of clutter and complexity typical of dense urban landscapes. In the foreground, there is a figure walking, illuminated by a light source not apparent in the image, creating a sense of solitude or introspection. The person's shadow extends towards the bottom corner of the image. The ground appears rough and textured, possibly a cobblestone street or an uneven surface, with debris scattered around. The lighting, consisting of stark contrasts between light and shadow, enhances the etching's depth and the angular geometries of the built environment. The artist has signed and dated the work in the lower right corner, which provides a sense of authenticity and suggests that this is a work of fine art.

The image is a striking black-and-white engraving or etching depicting a dramatic urban landscape. In the foreground, there is a shadowy figure walking through what appears to be a dimly lit alley or passageway, with rubble and debris scattered around. In the background, a towering, angular skyscraper-like structure rises up, its architectural details rendered in intricate lines and patterns. The overall atmosphere is one of darkness, mystery, and a sense of foreboding or unease. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, with contrasting areas of light and shadow, creates a powerful and evocative visual effect.
