The image shows a port scene with boats and figures along the water's edge. The horizon is low, merging with reflections on the water. The sails of the boats are decorated with soft tones of teal and ochre. The sky transitions from deep blue to softer greens near the horizon. A crescent moon is visible in the sky. The water reflects the shadows of boats in greens and blues. Various boats with rowers are depicted, creating a tranquil atmosphere. The style appears to be a woodblock print with flat color applications.
