The image shows a landscape with a waterfront area, featuring a large structure under construction near the horizon. The horizon is positioned about a third from the top of the composition, with silhouettes of masts and scaffolding. The style is detailed with intricate crosshatching for texture, in a sepia color palette. A figure sits on a wooden platform above the water, with boats and other figures engaged in various tasks. In the background, there are industrial buildings and smoke rising.
