The image shows a river with a cityscape in the background. Historic buildings line the horizon, with a prominent domed structure and a flagpole slightly to the right. A bridge crosses the river and the sky and buildings are visible above it. The artwork features fine and meticulous brushstrokes or etching lines, creating a detailed appearance. The color scheme is monochromatic sepia tones. Boats, some with sails, are seen on the river. The sky takes up the upper portion of the image.
