This is a drawing showing a group of people by the sea with a sailing ship and a tree. The scene features several figures standing near the shoreline, a large sailing ship to the right, a fire on the ground producing smoke, and a bent tree with thick foliage on the left. In the background, there are hills, a small structure that resembles a chapel or house, and people engaged in farm work. The figures are dressed in robes, and the drawing is detailed with precise line work, resembling old engravings or etchings. The composition balances the calm sea with the activity on the shore.
