The image shows a waterway with boats, rendered in fine line work. In the background, there is a cityscape with various buildings, including one with a dome and spires. The water takes up most of the image, with light strokes suggesting ripples. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of black ink. Closest to the viewer is a rooftop and part of a boat or barge.
