The image shows an industrial scene with buildings and chimneys sketched from a slightly elevated point of view. The horizon line is in the upper third of the composition. The buildings and chimneys are depicted with loose, thin brushstrokes. A figure in a small boat is in the foreground. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of gray on sepia-toned paper. Written notes and lines indicate it is a conceptual sketch.
