A long shot shows a solitary person wearing a conical hat rowing a small boat in the middle of a wide river or bay. The person is centered in the frame. The water is grey and slightly rippled. In the background across the water is a cityscape with buildings of varying heights and styles, interspersed with trees. A row of people can be seen walking along the shoreline in the background. The sky is a pale blue. The scene is captured in natural light, suggesting a clear day.
