The image depicts a waterfront scene with historic buildings lining the water's edge. The buildings display ornate architecture and extend across the mid to upper section of the image. Brushstrokes are used to detail the architectural features and reflections in the water. The color palette is primarily sepia-toned with variations of light and dark brown. Four swans are gliding on the water's surface below the buildings, with a sailboat and a paddle steamer visible further out. In the distance, city towers and spires enhance the skyline against a cloudy sky.
