This 19th-century maritime scene is executed in watercolour with gouache highlights on paper, depicting a small rowing boat with figures in choppy coastal waters near a stone harbour wall and lighthouse. The work is rendered in a traditional British topographical style, showing a hilly shoreline with various buildings and structures. In the lower right corner, there is a partially legible handwritten signature starting with a capital D, accompanied by an indistinct date. The paper exhibits generalised toning consistent with its age. The artwork is housed in a dark-stained wood frame with a gilt inner slip.
