The image displays a coastal scene featuring a house on the right side, with strong shadows. The horizon is low, showing the meeting of sea and land or sky. Boats' masts are visible on the horizon, and several small boats sit closer to the left. The image has a style reminiscent of etching, with precise lines and light and dark areas. The color palette is primarily black and white, creating a simple yet striking contrast.
