Artist, Scottish, 1876 - 1953

The image shows a riverside scene from an elevated view, looking at an industrial shore across the water. The horizon is lined with factories and large buildings, with smokestacks emitting faint plumes of smoke. The drawing is created with loose charcoal or pencil strokes varying in density for texture and depth. Darker lines highlight the foreground, while lighter strokes render distant buildings. The monochromatic color scheme in shades of gray and black emphasizes texture and light. In the foreground, figures walk along the riverbank amidst hints of vegetation. The scene conveys an urban and industrial atmosphere.
