The image displays a waterfront scene illustrated in a pen-and-ink style. The point of view is slightly elevated, looking towards a row of buildings lining the water's edge. The buildings dominate the right and middle section, while docked boats are visible on the left and bottom. The horizon line is suggested where the buildings meet the sky. The artwork features detailed brushstrokes, capturing the textures of the boats, water, and architecture. The color palette is monochromatic with various sepia shades, giving it a vintage appearance. In the distance, several chimneys extend into the sky.
