Description

A wide street runs beside the sea on the left, with rows of wooden barrels and stacked timber along the quayside. Two horse-drawn carts with canvas hoods stand in the road, and people walk on the pavement and among the carts. On the right, a multi-storey stone building with arched doors and balconies lines the street, and a long pier with small boats extends into the water in the background.

A broad road runs along the sea front, with wooden barrels and stacked timber on the quay to the left and a pier with small boats in the distance. Horse-drawn carriages with canopies and a covered lorry share the road with many people walking and standing. Tall stone buildings with balconies and arched doorways line the right side of the street.
