The image depicts a riverside scene with a small town and harbor viewed from across the water. The horizon is in the middle, partially hidden by buildings and sailboats. The sailboats have tall masts and angled sails. The brushstrokes are soft and sketch-like, suggesting motion in the water and texture in the scene. The color palette is monochromatic, with shades of brown and sepia. In the distance, there are scattered buildings and trees. The composition conveys a calm atmosphere at the waterfront.
