The image depicts a black and white drawing of a harbor with a city skyline in the background. A crane dominates the right side, with its long arm extending from a large wheel to a hook hanging above the water. The harbor is filled with boats and ships. A low wall separates the foreground from the water, with a ramp leading down to the harbor. Several people are standing on the wall or on the boats. A few buildings line the harbor, and in the background, a city skyline rises, featuring several tall buildings and spires. The sky above is cloudy and gray. The drawing style appears to be an etching or drypoint, characterized by detailed lines and shading. The overall atmosphere suggests a busy and industrialized waterfront scene.
