The scene depicts the historic Port of Saint-Goustan in Auray, France, during twilight. A dark cobblestone quay occupies the foreground, featuring a single dark cylindrical bollard in the lower right. A placid body of water stretches across the midground, reflecting the buildings and vessels along the opposite bank. On the far side, a series of multi-story buildings, characterized by white, light blue, and grey facades, line the river. Behind these structures, a tree-covered hillside rises, topped with additional buildings. Moored on the far right bank is a large, light blue vessel with a prominent mast, partially covered, positioned next to a smaller dark blue boat. A group of approximately five to seven individuals is visible standing on the far right quay, near the boats. The pale blue sky overhead contains a long, straight white contrail extending horizontally across its middle, and a fainter, diagonal contrail in the upper left quadrant.
