The drawing depicts a harbor scene with boats and figures. The horizon is near the top of the image, with clouds and hints of buildings and a lighthouse. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, creating movement in the sails and water. The color palette is monochromatic, with black and brown tones on light brown paper. Closest are boats with figures, adding life to the scene. In the distance, larger ships and masts are softly shaded.
