This painting shows a shoreline scene with a small boat half-beached on sand. A woman in a dark dress stands near the water, while a dog wanders close to her. In the background, a church with a golden dome sits beside trees and a few distant figures. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, giving the scene a rough, lived-in feel. The colors are muted, with earthy browns and greens dominating. This painting uses impasto, where paint is laid on thickly to create texture.
