The painting depicts a serene river scene, with a city and cathedral in the background. The city's buildings are rendered in various shades of brown and gray, while the cathedral stands out with its lighter-colored facade. In the foreground, a small boat with a single sail is moored to the riverbank. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. The sky above is a soft, cloudy gray, which adds to the overall sense of calmness. This painting is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
