The image shows a body of water with a cityscape or industrial skyline in the background. The horizon is high in the composition, with various structures, possibly factory buildings with smokestacks. The brushstrokes are sketch-like and linear, and cross-hatching is used for shading and texture. The color palette is monochromatic, with sepia tones and shades of black. There are boats on the water with masts and forms depicted in quick strokes, and detailed outlines of buildings in the distance.
