The image shows a body of water with a cityscape in the background. The painting displays a view from a high vantage point overlooking the city of New York. The brushstrokes are detailed and give a realistic look to the scene. The color scheme includes muted earth tones, with greens and browns in the foreground and blues and grays in the background. Clouds are visible in the sky, and sailboats are on the water. Two figures are also depicted on the grassy slope in the foreground.
