The image shows a riverside scene with a low point of view. The horizon is low, allowing the sky to dominate the scene above treetops and boat masts. The brushstrokes or etching lines are delicate and precise, giving a sketch-like quality to the artwork. The color palette is monochromatic with varying tones of brown and beige. Trees are detailed with finely etched bark and leaves. Boats are docked along the water's edge, with more boats visible in the distance.
