This image depicts a quay or harbor scene with buildings along the water. A church tower with a red dome and yellow facade stands out in the distance. Sailboats with white sails are near the viewer, reflecting on the water. The pointillist style is used, creating forms and textures with dots and dashes of color. The color palette includes pastel hues of yellow, blue, and red, with light clouds in the sky.
