Description

The horizontally oriented cityscape is printed in black ink on white paper. In this night scene viewed from an elevated perspective, a city’s densely packed high-rise buildings are illuminated by interior lights. They extend back to a starless and moonless black sky. In the foreground, snowflakes indicated by large and small white circles fall from the sky.
