Stylized drawing of steam boat facing away from the viewer, with the stern in the foreground on the lower right side, foreshortened diagonally to the left. The composition is heavily shaded with bold thick lines appearing dark as if it is nighttime or back weather. A plume of steam rises out of the singular smokestack and the silhouette of the top half of an individual wearing a hat is in the bow. Right to the boat is a dark building or structure. Water rendered in regular scallop pattern continuing as small dashes into the background horizon line, which is topped with a bridge with two arches over the water. The image is surrounded by rectangular framing lines.
