This image depicts a waterside building seen from a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon is formed by the building and the waterway. The building is old and textured with stone and brickwork, featuring details like shutters, an open archway, and an arched window above the large doorway. The water reflects parts of the building. The painting shows meticulous brushstrokes that capture the architectural intricacies and textures, such as the open wooden doors revealing figures inside. A boat is docked near the steps, with figures visible on the boat and inside the building. The color palette is primarily sepia tones, giving the scene a vintage quality.
