A vertically oriented lithograph in black ink on tan paper depicts a misty river landscape. In the lower right, two pigeons perch on a railing. A bridge spans the center, while silhouetted buildings and another bridge appear in the hazy distance. Loose, sketchy marks represent clouds across the upper half, with expressive dashes conveying light on the water below. A small embossed seal sits in the lower left corner.
