The image shows a busy dock in the rain, with people arriving under umbrellas. Ships and flagpoles are visible in the horizon against a cloudy sky. The painting is detailed with rain-soaked planks and a crowd of people, giving a sense of movement. The color palette is monochromatic with varying shades of sepia and dark brown. Lamp posts in the distance softly glow.
