Portland runs 2.734 to 1 and carries very little ink for that width, so it reads as a long quiet line rather than a crowded one. Most of what height there is waits until the right third.
What is in the drawing
A small notched block and a low box open the far left with plenty of space around them. A truss bridge follows, drawn as two shallow arched spans filled with zigzag bracing, with a lift tower standing up between them. The line then climbs a tall slab with a rounded corner, crosses a stepped block and a shaft with a pointed top, and runs on through low flat roofs. A tower with a horizontal cap and a plain slab carry the height into the right third, where one tower rises under a pointed crown above a tall arched face. From there the roofline steps down through three diminishing blocks to the far edge.
Who buys it
Portland is bought by people who arrived in the last twenty years and by people who are annoyed about that, and the drawing is neutral enough to suit both. It is a common leaving present when somebody moves back east, and the width makes it a piece people hang above a doorway or a sofa rather than in a frame on a shelf.
Mug or canvas
At 2.734 to 1 this is far wider than the mug band, so on a mug it runs the whole way round and reads as a continuous panorama with no start or finish. Coverage is 0.054, light enough to hold together at small sizes. In a 3:2 canvas a drawing this wide floats with real space above and below it, so the wide sizes suit it and the smallest one does not.
