The image shows a riverside town with buildings, including a tall cathedral spire on the left. The artwork uses detailed line work, mainly in black and grey tones. In the foreground, there is a busy quay with people, barrels, and boats. The river flows through the scene with boats and a bridge in the distance. Stylized clouds fill the sky above.
