Linoprint of a view of the riverbank. There are four felucas onshore, in black. The one closest to the viewer, on the right, has symbols on its hull. Around it in the shallow water are women in dark galabeyas unloading things from it in buckets. There is also a mustachioed man in a dark galabeya sitting on it. The boat behind it also has a man on it, but the two behind them seem to be empty. On the riverbank itself there is a man in a white galabeya sitting down, watching the boats, and behind him, in the background, there are two men walking by. In the background, there are two small felucas sailing. There is also what seems to be a building or a temple on the opposite riverbank. The entire drawing is enclosed in a black border.
