Reflections and rippling marks appear beneath them on the wet sand. Further along the shore to the right, small indistinct figures move or work in the shallow water, and another horse-drawn cart or carriage is visible with more figures clustered around it. The foreground is filled with horizontal, textured strokes suggesting wet sand and sea wash, and the overall image is composed of delicate, sketch-like lines and muted shading.
