Residential buildings and clustered houses sit near the shoreline and extend inland along winding roads and terraces, interspersed with patches of trees and cultivated plots. A dense expanse of wooded hillside occupies the foreground and lower slopes, with scattered clearings and estate-like structures visible among the trees. Rail tracks or a roadway run near the coast and curve around the headland, while the distant hills form a hazy backdrop rising behind the town. The overall scene is soft in contrast with muted tones and gradual fading toward the horizon.
