Summary

Scene overlooking the rooftops of a city from a high viewpoint. There are shrubby trees on the hillside to the foreground with the city beyond. The buildings of the city are large and square with some spires standing above the shallow sloped and castellated rooftops. There is a broad roadway at the centre right, running vertically through the city. To the centre left background is a hill with a castle and spired church. An expanse of water can be seen to the left edge.
