This image depicts a panoramic view of a harbor scene. In the composition, there is a wide expanse of water with the horizon set high in the image. There are distant structures, sailboats, and a cluster of industrial buildings with smoke stacks. The artwork features fine line work with a sketch-like quality. The color palette is primarily sepia tones. In the lower portion, figures are seen near the water's edge engaging in various activities. Reflections on the water and detailed cloud formations contribute to the dynamic nature of the image.
