The painting depicts a serene coastal scene. On the right side, a towering cliff dominates the landscape, its reddish-brown rock formations hinting at erosion caused by the relentless sea. Atop the cliff sits a sturdy stone tower, its presence suggesting a history of guarding the coastline. A small, quaint building nestles at the base of the tower, possibly a dwelling for those who once kept watch.

The calm waters of the sea stretch out before the cliff, their surface reflecting the soft hues of the sky. A fully rigged sailing ship, its sails billowing gently, navigates the waters in the distance, while closer to the shore, a small group of figures is engaged in fishing. Two figures occupy a small rowboat, their postures suggesting the act of casting nets or tending to lines. On a rocky outcrop in the foreground, three more figures are engrossed in their fishing endeavors. One, elegantly dressed, stands with a fishing rod extended, while the other two, seated on the rocks, appear to be baiting hooks or examining their catch. The scene evokes a sense of tranquility and the simple pleasures of life by the sea.
