The composition features several vessels with sails catching a gentle breeze, with one boat in the foreground loaded with passengers and goods, perhaps waiting to disembark. The water reflects the soft colors of the sky and the sails, creating a tranquil atmosphere. In the background, a few buildings or structures, possibly a church or a manor, can be seen amidst lush greenery, adding to the idyllic setting. The scene captures a moment of peaceful daily life on the water, typical of many European river or coastal towns.
