The point of view in this image is at water level, looking out over a body of water where boats are present. Two small boats are in the foreground near the shore, surrounded by reeds and grasses. In the distance, a sailboat with its sail unfurled is visible. The horizon is low, where the water meets a line of land. The brushstrokes are sketch-like and linear, creating details of the water and sky. The color palette is dominated by off-white and dark lines, giving the image a monochromatic appearance.
