The image depicts a scene overlooking a river with historical buildings and boats. The horizon is high, showing a cityscape fading into the distance. The buildings have a hazy quality, and the artwork features sketch-like brushstrokes defining outlines and shading in a monochrome style. The color palette consists of sepia tones and light grays. A steamship is seen in the foreground on the water, and a bridge crosses the river with visible pedestrian activity. Various boats are present on the river, with industrial buildings along the water's edge.
