The image features a paddle steamer boat from an elevated viewpoint. The boat is detailed with a large paddle wheel and deck in the center. Buildings, silos, and stylized trees are visible at the horizon. The painting uses bold brushwork with a monochromatic color palette of black and white. Soft strokes indicate the boat's reflection on the water.
