The image displays a coastal scene with distant hills and a body of water. Small boats are docked near a stone pier, with figures engaged in activities. A sailboat is near the water's edge, with a figure seated in it. The painting is characterized by soft brushstrokes creating textures in the hills and sky. The color palette is predominantly sepia-toned. The water meets the horizon, fading into a sky with delicate clouds.
