The image depicts a river scene from an elevated viewpoint. Two figures in hats are on a dock or platform overlooking the river. Boats are lined up along the water's edge, with more vessels in the distance. The horizon shows faint distant buildings and tall ship masts against the sky. The cityscape is visible above the center. The artwork is created with delicate, linear brushstrokes in monochromatic shades, giving it an impressionistic style.
