A horizontally oriented lithograph with sharp, faceted planes depicts a coastal village in shades of black, gray, and white. In the foreground, a stark white sail tilts across dark water. Geometric houses and a church spire cluster behind textured, brick-patterned walls. Jagged mountains rise in the background under a sky fractured by radiating beams. Overlapping triangles and stippled shading create a sense of fragmented depth across the entire composition.
