A horizontally oriented lithograph with rapid, loose lines depicts a shipyard scene in charcoal gray. Towering industrial cranes with spindly lattice arms dominate the middle ground, surrounding a dark, skeletal ship frame. Rectangular stacks of beams lie scattered across the foreground, where tiny figures gather near the base of the structures. Swirling, energetic strokes fill the upper background, and a cursive signature is inscribed in the bottom right corner.
