The image shows a cluster of buildings on a rocky outcrop by the sea, viewed from a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon is in the upper third, with the buildings above it. The drawing is done in pen with clean, precise lines and hatching for texture. The brushstrokes are linear and fluid, especially for the water and rocks. The color scheme is monochromatic with black ink on cream paper. The foreground has simple lines indicating water, and the coastline is depicted with rugged lines.
