The image shows a river scene with an industrial town on the distant horizon. Multiple buildings and tall chimneys release smoke into the sky. Trees line the bank on the right side. The brushstrokes convey fine details, especially in the trees and smoke, while the rest of the image maintains softer lines. The color palette is composed of muted browns and grays.
