Black and white drawing of a river scene with boats and windmills. The image shows a body of water with several boats, some with sails raised. The boats are of varying sizes, with some featuring masts and rigging. In the background, there are several windmills visible on the shore. The sky is light with some clouds. The drawing is signed and dated in the bottom right corner. The title of the work is written at the top. The image appears to be a harbor scene with industrial and natural elements. The artist's signature and date are in cursive script. The drawing is on textured paper. The overall scene depicts a calm and serene atmosphere.
