Visible in the right foreground are three steamboats and a barge huddled together beside the shore. Barren tree limbs extend over the boats from the right. In the background is a misty outline of Frankfort's skyline including the city courthouse and a church steeple. A bridge is cut off in the left background. Half of the painting is the cloudy sky above. |
