The image shows two figures working by the water's edge on a riverbank. An industrial bridge and structures dominate the horizon. Factories with tall smokestacks emit smoke, contributing to the industrial atmosphere. The artwork uses dense strokes to convey texture and shadow, with a focus on darker tones for contrast. The color palette is monochromatic, with shades of gray and black creating depth. The water reflects the structures and figures. In the background, silhouetted structures are visible on the far side of the river.
