The image is a pencil sketch of a waterside scene. There is a distant hill on the horizon. To the left, there is a structure resembling a dock or shipyard with a mast. The drawing has delicate lines and shading. The color palette is monochromatic with varying shades of gray on ivory paper. On the hill, there are outlines of trees and a building, possibly a house or chapel. Furthermore, there are sails of other boats visible. The water reflects the masts and lines, showing a subtle ripple effect.
