This painting portrays a fantastical city brimming with colors and life. It features old buildings with an Eastern or Mediterranean architectural style, punctuated by multiple doors and arches. In the foreground, a few figures walk quietly, as if they are part of a mysterious story unfolding in the alleys of the city. The background leans toward darkness with a dramatic sky, while vibrant colors—red, orange, and blue—glow, creating a vivid contrast between shadow and light. The city ascends in depth, almost like a maze, with hints of towers and tall structures that suggest modernity or the future.
