This is a drawing of a coastal village with fishermen working on a dock. The village is set against a backdrop of towering trees and rocky terrain. Wooden cabins with weathered roofs populate the landscape. In the foreground, a dock extends over the water where multiple figures labor with shovels. A boat is moored alongside the dock, integrated into the activity. The composition is detailed with a variety of textures, from the trees and rocks to the structures and water.
