In the foreground is the Norrström, in which float six boats, each carrying a round floating net; they are moored to the wall of the Strömparterren (a public garden) on Helgeandsholmen. People lean on the rails, watching the fishing-boats. Two poplars sway in the wind towards the left. In between the trees is seen a fountain, with a statue rising from its center. Beyond a bridge (Norrbro) is the Opera House, the facade of which is brilliantly lighted. Night effect, with black stormy sky. Topographically incorrect, the subject being shown in reverse from the trial plate, which was true to nature. This part has been modified by burnishing out the connecting line; the outline of thicker shading that projected, in state V, from the right has been modified, so that the white space has become slightly larger.
