The image shows sailboats on a body of water. Two larger boats are in the center, with intricate masts and sails against the sky. A smaller boat with a lone rower is closer and more detailed. The artwork features fine etching with delicate lines, creating texture in the water and sky. The color palette is primarily black, white, and sepia. Faint coastal buildings and cliffs are seen in the distance.
