The painting depticts a lively harbor. At the center is a round lighthouse tower with a flag flying from the top. A horsedrawn wagon is heading towards the tower, away from the perspective of the viewer. Figures crowd the shore, including people, horses, and dogs. Tall-masted ships are docked near the tower; others are at sail.
