The image shows a maritime scene with boats and a structure on the water. The horizon is at the upper third of the composition, separating the sky from the dark silhouette of distant land or cloud reflections. A wooden building on stilts is on the right, with vertical lines. Several boats are closer to the viewer in the water, with bold, dark strokes against a colorful palette. The brushstrokes are expressive, with a mix of bold and controlled lines. The color palette is vibrant with blues, greens, ochres, black, and white, creating a visually engaging scene. The background fades into blues and dark hues.
