The image shows a canal with sailboats on the left, featuring tall masts and sails with flags. Buildings line the water's edge with gabled roofs and ornate details. The artwork uses detailed etching-style brushstrokes in a monochromatic palette of black and gray. Additional buildings, trees, and small figures can be seen in the background, and the water reflects the surroundings.
