The picture shows a harbour with several sailing ships and boats in the dock. The masts and sails can be seen, as well as the pier and the harbour environment with wrecks and barges. The sky is dull, perhaps indicating a foggy or cloudy day. The colours are mixed with shades of grey and brown with more prominent elements of red and white. The painting has quick, loose strokes, giving the impression of movement and liveliness of activity in the harbour. Other elements of the environment may include containers or boxes scattered around the wharf.
