The image shows a waterfront scene with buildings along the left shoreline. There are small boats with figures rowing in the water, one towards the right side. The etching has thin lines outlining buildings, trees, and boats, creating a sketch-like quality. The color palette is monochromatic with a sepia tone. The background extends into the distance on the right side.
