The painting depicts a landscape with a body of water in the foreground and a cityscape or industrial area in the background. The artwork, titled "Nocturne," is by James McNeill Whistler. The body of water occupies the lower half of the painting and reflects the scene above it. A small boat with one person is in the water closer to the viewer. The background shows a dark silhouette of buildings with several tall, thin structures that appear to be chimneys. The sky above is uniformly gray and light. The entire scene is depicted in various shades of gray, with no other colors visible.
