View along the sandy foreshore with a small sailing boat moored in the shallows in which a single fisherman tends to his nets. To left, a youth strides across the sand with a net slung over his shoulder. Yatchs sail on the estuary beyond which rise distant hazy hills. To right of foreground nets stand drying. A gentle grassy slope with a windmill standing on it leads down to the foreshore to right of composition.
