This sketch shows a busy square with tall, old buildings. One building has a tall tower with arched windows. People and horses are below, walking or standing. The buildings have lots of small windows with shutters, and some have balconies. The artist used lines to show light and shadow. This makes the buildings look three-dimensional. The paper has a textured look to it. Look up etching to see how artists use acid to carve lines into metal plates.
