The image displays a marina or canal scene in Caen, France, looking across calm water toward the opposite bank lined with buildings and moored vessels under an overcast sky. In the foreground, a concrete quay with minor discoloration occupies the lower left. A silver-colored metal railing runs along the edge of this quay, partially visible. The water, dark grey and still, reflects the boats and structures with slight ripple distortions, extending from the mid-ground to the right foreground. A row of approximately ten boats is moored along the far bank. These include several white-hulled sailboats with tall, slender masts, one featuring a distinct black and white striped furling system. Interspersed are white and cream-colored motorboats, one of which, a cream-colored vessel with black fender bumpers, is named "L'Argoan" on its bow. The background consists of various multi-story urban buildings. On the left, older structures with dark, complex roofs and some visible autumn trees rise behind the boats. To the right, a more contemporary multi-story building features a light-colored facade, numerous rectangular windows, many equipped with blue awnings or shutters, and a dark, multi-dormered roof. A smaller, lighter building with distinct circular windows is partially visible on the far right. The sky is uniformly grey and overcast. No individuals are visible in the scene; the boats appear unoccupied and static.
