The image shows a cityscape across a river. The view is slightly elevated, offering a clear perspective. The horizon line is positioned low and showcases industrial buildings with tall smokestacks along the riverbanks. The etching features precise brushstrokes defining structures and boats. The color palette is monochromatic, primarily sepia tones. The forefront displays docks, small boats, and figures engaged in various activities. The river widens towards the buildings on the horizon, under a clear sky.
