This painting shows a harbor scene with several sailboats and a large hill in the foreground. The boats are mostly white with some brown details, and the hill is covered in green grass with some brown patches. The painting is done in a pointillist style, with many small dots of color that blend together to form the image. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity, with the gentle colors and peaceful scene evoking a sense of tranquility.
