This painting shows a harbor scene with several sailboats. The boats have brown and white sails, and one is in the foreground with its sail down. In the background, there are more boats and a windmill on the left side. The sky is cloudy and gray. The painting has a lot of gray tones, which gives it a calm and serene atmosphere. The brushstrokes are visible, which adds to the overall texture of the painting.
