The artwork portrays a serene and detailed urban scene in Naples. Dominating the composition is a view of various buildings, including a robust stone structure, likely a tower, in the background and other dwellings that exhibit signs of wear and age. The walls and rooflines in the foreground are depicted with subtle details, showcasing minor cracks and an overall rustic appearance. The verdant hues of the trees provide a pleasant contrast to the stone and masonry of the buildings. The sky, painted in delicate shades of blue with scattered clouds, enhances the tranquil ambiance of the setting. The perspective and lighting convey a sense of calm and timelessness that is characteristic of the Romanticism movement.
