The image depicts a painting of a waterfront scene. The title "PORT OF BUFFALO ON LAKE ERIE" is visible at the top. The view shows a waterway with a large steamboat sailing across the blue water. Two figures are near a tree on the left, with a striped fence leading toward the water. Several small boats, some with sails, are on the water. A large tree with distinct foliage is on the right. The brushstrokes are loose with red outlines. The color palette includes soft blues, greens, and browns, creating a serene atmosphere.
