The image shows an industrial scene by the water. The horizon is high in the composition, with buildings and structures featuring wheel mechanisms. The sky has detailed clouds. The scene is rendered in a monochromatic gray palette with fine lines for textures. A figure rows a boat, other boats are seen with people working. Boats with sails are scattered in the distance.
