Both shores of an estuary are seen, with a sailing vessel at anchor towards the right under the down. In the foreground to the left is a summer-house, with bushes and a shed behind it, stands within a fenced enclosure. Near the corner of the fence is a rowing boat, more to the right a sailing boat in which a man stands, attending to the furled sail; another small sailing boat lies on dry land, its stern fastened by a rope to a tub. The tackle at the top of the mast of the sailing boat last named has been retouched and darkened. The outline of the bowsprit of the same boat have been strengthened and the lines run together towards the right. The grass near the bow of the boat, under the bowsprit, has been darkened.
