The image shows a view from the water's edge, looking across a calm body of water. The horizon, shoreline, and cityscape or hills are visible. To the right, there is a dock with a docked steamship emitting smoke. Dark ripples and reflections are seen in the water. The sky is overcast with clouds, and there is a circular shape near the ship. The image is in grayscale, giving it a historical feel.
