The image shows a landscape with a harbor or riverbank. Along the water's edge, there are boats. On the horizon, there are trees and a small structure. The horizon line is above the center of the composition. The watercolor technique is used to create light and fluid brushstrokes, giving a sense of movement and reflection on the water. The color palette includes pastel shades of blue, green, and pink, along with strokes of black and brown. The sky is painted in pale peach and blue.
