This drawing shows a cityscape with three people standing on a wall. The two adults and a child are looking out over a river, with buildings and domes in the background. Trees line the wall, and the scene is done in soft browns and grays. The artist used fine lines to build up shadows and textures, especially on the buildings. The people seem to be enjoying the view, while the domes and towers give the city a grand feel. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines like this.
