Description

Low, flat-roofed and tiled houses line the shore, with some taller buildings in the centre and a long stone warehouse with arched openings at right. A tall chimney rises beside the sea at the far right, and a slender minaret stands among the buildings at left. A wooden jetty and a small boat sit on the calm water, and a dark rowing boat is moored in the foreground.
