This is a painting of a dockside scene with workers and cargo. The image portrays a group of laborers taking a break, gathered around various goods and supplies near docked ships. The dock is bustling with items like a horse-drawn cart, baskets, and crates scattered around. The men wear simple trousers, shirts, and jackets in shades of brown, red, white, and light blue. Some wear hats and smoke pipes. In the background are sailing vessels and a steamboat with smoke rising from a chimney.
