The scene features a coastal view with buildings, boats, and a high horizon displaying rooftops of wooden structures and ship masts in the distance. The artwork is detailed and realistic, using precise lines and shading for texture and depth. The monochrome palette emphasizes contrasts across various surfaces like grass, wooden shingles, and lobster traps. Nearby is an upright boat, nautical items, and a display of buoys and pots. The sky is depicted as overcast with soft grey gradations.
