The image is a black and white illustration of a coastal scene. The viewpoint is slightly elevated, showing the shoreline, cliffs, and rugged cliffs in the background. Near the cliffs, there are a few worn-out houses. Closest to the viewer, there are wooden boats on uneven ground, some with nets and objects. In the middle, figures are gathered around a boat being repaired. The sky is filled with swirling clouds, obscuring the horizon. The illustration features intricate brushstrokes that highlight the textures of rocks, wood, and clouds. The overall palette is monochromatic, using shades of grey to show depth, shadows, and light.
