The image is a pencil sketch of a harbor scene. Several small boats float on the water in the foreground. In the middle ground, there is a larger sailboat with figures aboard and a line of wooden docks with some people on them. The background shows buildings and houses on a gentle slope. The drawing is detailed with precise pencil lines, creating a monochromatic palette. The horizon is defined by the buildings and hills, providing depth to the composition.
