The image shows parallel lines leading towards a horizon just above the midpoint. The horizon features buildings, shipyard structures, boats, and cranes. In the foreground, there are wooden planks or beams with people nearby. The brushstrokes are loose and sketch-like, giving the scene an impressionistic style. The color palette includes soft earth tones, blue, and grey. The sky is overcast with light grey washes. Farther away, the forms become mistier and less defined, merging with the sky.
