The painting depicts a canoe with three men navigating rough waters. The canoe is brown and oriented horizontally, with the bow to the left. The man in the front is wearing a gray sweater, red pants, and a dark cap, with his arms raised. The man in the middle wears a dark jacket and cap, leaning forward. The man in the back wears a dark jacket and cap, holding a rope. The water around them is dark and turbulent, with large waves and white foam. The background features a steep, rocky shoreline with dark rock. The scene titled "Shooting the Rapids, Saguenay River" is by artist Winslow Homer.
