This black-and-white drawing shows a quiet harbor scene with a rocky shoreline. A small boat sits near the water’s edge, and a few people stand or crouch by the rocks. In the background, a church or chapel sits on a hill, with jagged cliffs and scattered bushes filling the middle ground. The artist used sharp lines and deep shadows to create texture, especially in the rocks and water. The scene feels still, like a moment frozen in time.
