Description

A river scene in horizontal format. An uneven line of buildings, probably warehouses, stretches from above centre at right into the distance at left. Towards the far left is a spire. At right a jumble of lines may indicate a pier or barge by the river bank. Numerous lights along the bank are reflected in the water.
