This painting by Joan Nelson depicts a sepia-toned scene placed behind the walls of a dark brown building.
Potentially depicting a rooftop, the nearly black ground is flanked on the left by tall, dark, and uniform buildings. Along the right is a cement wall topped by a chain link fence. The buildings and wall are both stopped in the distance by a dark border wall and above the whole scene is a foggy white sky.
