The image depicts a two-story building with a fish shop on the ground floor, titled "Fish Shop, Chelsea" and created by James McNeill Whistler. The building has a flat roof and is rendered in dark and light shades. The ground floor has an awning over the shop and four windows on the left with another awning on the right. The shop has a large opening with two smaller openings on either side. The second floor has three windows above the shop and one larger one on the right. People are standing on the sidewalk in front of the shop. The sidewalk is on the left and right of the shop. The street is empty and light in the foreground. The overall scene is a simple, monochromatic depiction of an urban setting.
