Description

Small open boats and larger masted sailing boats lie moored on the still water of the harbour in the foreground. Behind the quay stand whitewashed multi-storey buildings with balconies, a domed structure with a slender tower, and rocky mountains rising behind them. A few small figures are visible on the quayside.

A view across the harbour water toward a row of white and plastered buildings with balconies and shuttered windows along the quay. Mountains rise behind the town, and a domed structure and slender tower stand among the rooftops. In the foreground, several rowing boats and larger sailing boats with tall masts are moored, and their reflections show on the water.
