The image shows a wooden boardwalk leading to a pier on the water. A woman with a child leans on a curving railing casting striped shadows. Behind them are stanchions on a sandy area. The pier extends over dark water with lampposts, leading to a small building. In the distance, small boats are visible against a clear sky. The artwork has detailed line work with cross-hatching, creating a monochromatic palette and high contrast.
