The image shows a riverside industrial scene with a large brick building and a tall chimney to the left. The building extends horizontally towards the water. The composition focuses on the structure, with no visible sky above. The sketch uses soft pencil strokes for texture on the walls and water, and wisps of smoke are seen. The color palette is monochromatic, ranging from gray to black. Barges and boats are moored close by, while piling structures are seen in the distance.
