A vertically oriented print in brown ink on beige paper depicts a narrow canal at night. On the left, dense, scribbled strokes create deep shadows on a building. On the right, faint outlines suggest windows and arched doorways. A dark boat floats on water marked by long, vertical strokes that bleed into a murky sky. A low bridge spans the distance. A small, square paper tab extends from the bottom edge.
