The image shows a quiet harbor scene from the edge of a dock or pier. Several boats are moored along the water's edge, with tall masts extending upwards. Leafy trees line the left side of the waterway. The scene is rendered in a simple, sketch-like style with fine line work and a monochromatic color palette of sepia and beige. In the background to the right are small buildings with simplified depictions of people.
