The image depicts a riverbank scene with rowboats and small vessels docked along the muddy banks. Figures are visible handling the boats. In the background, tightly packed buildings with diverse rooflines and various architectural features are seen. A bridge spans the river, leading to a landscape of trees and additional buildings. The monochrome artwork uses fine etching lines to show texture and depth, creating contrast between light and shadow. Thin lines suggest water movement, while cross-hatching marks create shadows and depth in the cityscape.
