In the foreground, there are multiple small boats with figures and a larger ship further out. The brushstrokes are detailed and capture movement. The color palette includes turquoise waters, warm sky tones, green coastal foliage, and earthy land colors. In the distance, figures are gathered along the shore, with teepees visible further back.
