The image shows a riverside scene with a wide expanse of water. Large sailing ships are docked along the horizon, with their tall masts visible. The artwork has a sketchy style with expressive lines. There are figures gathered along the riverbank, some in small boats and others on the shore. The color palette is limited to sepia shades, giving the scene a historical or timeless quality. Additional boats can be seen in the distance on the water.
