The image depicts a river scene with a slightly elevated point of view. The horizon is placed high with a thin line of distant land and vertical lines representing docks or ship masts. In the foreground, there are small boats and figures on a dock. The brushstrokes are loose and fluid with a watercolor technique. The color palette is soft and muted, with pastel blues, pinks, and earthy browns. The sky is light blue, dominating the upper half of the composition.
