label: Description
content: Vertical sheet illustrating a street in town with elevations of medieval buildings along one side of it. The buildings have three stories, each hanging a little further over the one below, topped by a steeply pitched roof concealing an attic space with dormered windows. The roof gables are filled in with wood creating a pointed arch that has some depth and shadow behind it. Each story has floor beams visible, projecting out from beyond the building's walls. A small commercial space is at street level, its sign on both sides reading "L. Nouil Cirier." There are two figures walking along side the building, which provides a scale for the building's height.
