Industrial view of a grain warehouse and surrounding buildings positioned next to the bank of a river, with a horizontal wooden platform by the water. The buildings are painted with hard, geometric lines and the paintwork is thick impasto, the brushwork of the painting contributing to a highly textured finish. The brush strokes are multi-directional, this is especially evident in the sky. The buildings are painted as having highly contrasting sections.
