Detailed Description
An industrial landscape is depicted under a grey, overcast sky. To the left, a large, multi-story building with red brick walls and numerous dark, rectangular windows occupies the foreground. This building has a dark green trim along its roofline and between some floors. In front of this building and slightly to the right, a light blue-grey metal framework structure, composed of intersecting beams, encloses three dark, cylindrical tanks at its base. Behind the metal structure and to the right, a tall, slender red brick smokestack rises against the sky. Various other industrial buildings are visible in the midground, including a lower red building with dark windows and a light brown section with green trim above it. A grey-roofed building with a small red-orange gable is situated below the smokestack. On the far right, a lighter grey, blocky building with a small, dark opening is partially visible. The foreground features a canal with dark teal water, bordered by a light grey concrete wall that extends across the bottom of the canvas. The scene is composed of geometric shapes and flat, unmodulated colors.
