The water is calm, reflecting the colors of the sky. In the foreground, the small boat is positioned to the right of center, while the larger vessel is visible on the left side of the canvas. The artist's use of oil paint creates a sense of depth and texture, with visible brushstrokes adding to the overall effect.
