The image depicts the Palace of Westminster across a river. The horizon is low, defined by the river and building bases. The clock tower and other structures stand out. The etching shows detailed linework and shading of the Gothic architecture. The color palette is primarily shades of gray. Dark silhouettes of small boats are seen in the water. A decorative border surrounds the scene.
