- View of a coastal village. The lower with scattered buildings. The body of water that the village borders is only visible as a thin triangle of blue near the middle of the left-hand side of the picture. Six buildings, five brick-red, and one green, are scattered across the foreground. Near the picture's centre, a tall light-brown pole rises vertically to reach the sky. Numerous houses and poles are seen in the middle distance. The upper half of the composition is filled by a band of light-grey clouds hanging above a medium-blue sky.
