The image depicts a black and white sketch showing a scene with a barge or canal boat labeled "The Boussenards Chalons" with a figure on board. In the background, there is a canal with embankments and a figure walking on the water's edge. Trees and industrial structures, including chimneys and scaffolding, can be seen further back. The image is created using a loose and sketchy style with a mix of dark shading and lighter strokes defining the natural and man-made elements. The sketch uses a monochromatic palette of gray and black.
