Description

Moored wooden boats with tall masts and rigging fill the water of the harbour in the foreground. Along the quay stand old stone buildings, one with a slender minaret at the left, and a few small figures stand or walk on the quayside. Rocky mountains rise behind the town, with Hilarion in the middle distance.
