The image shows a man on a boat using a pole to steer. The boat is on a calm body of water, with a wooden edge visible extending to the left. On the horizon, there are trees, structures, and a small building. The artwork is created using fine lines and cross-hatching for texture. The monochrome palette uses varying intensities of black against a light background. Diagonal lines in the sky hint at clouds.
