Description

A long wooden quay runs along the right side of the image beside calm, brown-toned water, with a tall crane at its far end. Behind it stand two-storey buildings with tiled roofs and arched windows, a row of rounded roofs or sheds, and several trees. A lamp post and a flagpole rise above the waterfront.

Description, scan 2
A long stone quay runs along the right side of the frame, with a crane at its far end and a row of small rounded-roofed structures behind it. Across the water on the left stand larger white buildings, some with arched openings, among trees. The water fills the foreground under a cloudy sky.
