The image shows a waterfront scene with moored boats and a distant coastline. The horizon is low, above the water where buildings on the far shore are visible. Several boats, some with sails, are near a wooden dock, with a man in a small boat on the water. The artwork features detailed linework suggestive of etching or drypoint techniques, highlighting texture and detail on the boats and wooden structure. The color scheme is monochromatic in sepia tones. In the background, a townscape with buildings and ship masts can be seen through mist, adding depth to the scene.
