The image shows a river scene with a person sketching while seated on the right. The view leads along the riverbank into the distance where buildings, a smokestack, and a bridge can be seen. The painting is detailed with fine brushstrokes depicting the stone embankment and urban architecture. A monochromatic sepia color palette creates a historical or nostalgic mood. On the left side of the river, there are buildings, trees, and small boats.
