The sails are furled or partially raised, with masts and rigging visible, and small rowboats with seated figures moving on the water. Two figures stand on a shoreline slope with a dog nearby, while other small groups of people occupy boats and the quay.

The overall composition emphasizes fine line work and crosshatching throughout the water, buildings, boats, and sky.
