The image shows a harbor with boats docked along the water's edge. Figures are visible on the boats, suggesting activity. In the middle ground, there are wooden structures and foliage leading to a church steeple in the distance. The horizon is situated about one-third from the bottom of the image. The scene is depicted with intricate line work creating textures like ripples in the water and leaves on trees. The color palette is monochromatic, using ink on paper for contrast.
