A very interesting etching of what appears to be Paris' Montmartre section, (the windmill a famous feature, painted by many artists), signed in pencil in the lower right margin "B. Vilard".

It is very clean and fresh, despite likely dating to the first half of the 20th century. Note the subtle blue/brown colors.
