DescriptionThis river scene shows a bridge in the distance crossing over into an industrial area. The river water is grey and brown, giving the impression of murkiness. The bridge and the adjoining factories are painted in a mixture of dark grey and brown with orange dots, representing electric lights, speckled across them. The smoking chimneys have filled the sky with grey.
