The image depicts a winter waterfront scene in Kronstadt, Russia, under a bright, sunny sky. The sun, located in the upper-left quadrant, emits strong rays and lens flare, partially illuminating a long, thin cloud formation that displays iridescent colors. The sky transitions from light blue near the horizon to a deeper blue overhead. In the foreground, a snow-covered pier or embankment extends into the frame. Along its left edge are dark bollards connected by chains. A black, ornate street lamp with two lanterns stands on a stone base, centered on the left side of the pier. To its right, a dark, decorative urn-shaped monument rests on a pedestal. The water body, visible beyond the pier, is largely covered with broken ice floes. On the right side of the frame, a dark-hulled military vessel, possibly a frigate or corvette, is partially visible, oriented towards the left. The number "310" is discernable on its hull, and a pennant flies from its mast. Four individuals, rendered as dark silhouettes, stand on the snow-covered pier, facing the icy water and the ship. In the distant background, a low-lying horizon line shows faint outlines of structures, including a lighthouse or similar tall edifice on the far left. The overall scene conveys a cold, clear day at a naval port.
