The scene depicts a portion of the Marina Grande fishing harbor in Sorrento, Italy, under a partly cloudy sky during daylight hours. In the immediate foreground, to the left, a large dark grey planter holds numerous cyclamen plants with vibrant red flowers and variegated green leaves. Adjacent to the planter and extending towards the right, multiple weathered wooden boats are pulled ashore onto a gravelly and muddy bank. The closest boat, partially visible on the right, is white and light blue, showing a worn wooden interior with a white rope coiled on a thwart. Behind it, a smaller, light blue and white wooden boat rests on wooden blocks. To the left, a larger dark blue and white boat is also elevated on wooden supports. An open cardboard box lies on the ground near the planter and boats. The midground features the calm, blue water of the harbor, populated by numerous small to medium-sized fishing boats and pleasure craft of varying colors, predominantly white, blue, and green, moored or anchored. The shoreline consists of dark gravel, rocks, and dark, worn objects. In the background, a steep, vegetated cliff face rises on the left side of the harbor. To the right, a long pier or dock structure, supporting white buildings and illuminated elements, extends into the water. Additional boats are visible near and beyond this structure. No individuals are discernible within the frame.
