The image displays a landscape overlooking a body of water with boats. The horizon is high, separating the water from the sky. In the distance, a city's silhouette is visible, showing domes and minarets. The brushstrokes are loose and sketchy. The color palette is monochromatic, contrasting light background with dark lines. Foliage and structures frame the foreground, leading towards the cityscape.
