The image displays a riverbank with buildings on one side and a river flowing on the other. The horizon is visible along with minarets rising from one building. The drawing shows detailed linework capturing architectural and natural features, with a sepia color palette. Close by, boats are moored with figures nearby, and more boats and figures are visible further away. Stepped structures along the riverbank create depth in the composition.
