A horizontally oriented sepia photogravure on cream-colored paper depicts a narrow boat with a tall triangular sail on misty water. Four figures in thick hooded coats sit inside. One person sits at the stern, two near the mast, and another at the bow on the right maneuvers an oar. A dense fog obscures the horizon. "A FOGGY DAY - KOTZEBUE" is printed bottom left. Soft, hazy light and grainy texture fill the composition.
