Composition in green tones, blue, gray, orange, ochre, yellow, earthy, white and black. Smooth, thick, rough texture, and marked brushstrokes. Composition representing urban lanscape, seen from above, suggesting compact mass of skyscrapers, characterized by sharply vertical geometrism. In the foreground, on the left of center and on the right, representing two tall chimneys, defined by rectangular shapes of larger proportions than the rest, from where small clouds of smoke transparent in shades of gray - not only geometrical areas of the composition. These chimneys stand out from the background, it is suggested construction blocks in perspective.
