The image shows several small boats on a body of water stretching across the middle of the scene. The horizon is not distinctly marked. The artwork is rendered in a loose and fluid style with quick, expressive brushstrokes capturing the boat forms and passengers. The color palette is monochromatic with earthy browns against a pale background. Figures are depicted working their oars, with a sketchy style conveying motion and activity. Additional boats with figures are seen beyond them, creating a sense of depth and spatial configuration.
