Watercolor painting depicting an urban rooftop scene with various architectural elements, including a prominent wooden water tower on a flat roof, brick chimneys, and the facades of buildings with multiple windows. The color palette consists of earth tones with shades of brown, beige, and hints of blue in the background, suggesting a clear sky. The artwork captures the texture and details of the urban structures with a sense of warmth and sunlight.
