The image shows a nautical scene with a tugboat moving across the water. The horizon line is low, with buildings of a cityscape meeting the water. The brushstrokes are broad and loose, creating an impressionistic style. The color palette includes blues, grays, browns, yellows, and black. The water is rendered in shades of blue and white, hinting at reflection and motion. In the distance, there are unrefined strokes suggesting an urban skyline.
