The image shows a coastal scene with four boats casting long shadows on the sand. A figure stands next to a boat, holding a line connected to the nearest boat. The horizon is visible but slightly obscured by the silhouettes of the boats. The image is in a bold black and white woodcut style, emphasizing high contrast and the interplay between light and darkness.
