Summary:
View from the shore looking across the quiet harbor with a sailing ship on the water, its sails raised, and its reflection visible on the surface of the water. In the background, houses dot the opposite shore, their images reflected in the surface of the water. In the foreground two men stand and talk beside a rowboat pulled up on shore
