The image shows a maritime scene with a level perspective. The horizon is positioned in the upper third, with a misty line adding depth. Sailboats, some with unfurled sails, are dispersed on the water. One boat stands out on the right with light sails. The technique is fine with smooth lines and gradations, resembling etching. The color scheme is primarily monochromatic with gray tones. Boat reflections on the water enhance the calm atmosphere. The boats decrease in size towards the distance, creating a sense of space.
