A square oil painting with thick, blocky brushstrokes depicts a road descending toward a harbor. A figure pushes a cart past pale houses with green shutters. On the left, a tall utility pole rises near a figure in a shawl. In the background, ships with white sails catch the light on blue water beneath a pale, textured sky. A strip of yellow land sits on the horizon, framed by dark green trees.
