The image shows a group of people near a fence with ships' masts in the background. The scene appears to be near a harbor. The artwork uses fine lines to depict texture and movement. The color palette is monochromatic, with shades of deep blue-green. A tree is depicted among the figures and ship masts, with its leaves rendered in short, sweeping strokes.
