The artwork presents a serene scene by the water, showcasing a picturesque dock where several boats are moored. The composition is skillfully balanced; the dock, with its vibrant red rails, invites the viewer's gaze while the lush greenery wraps around the background, echoing the tranquility of nature. A gentle breeze seems to ripple across the water's surface, hinting at life beyond the canvas.

Sorolla’s use of light is nothing short of captivating, making the blue sky shimmer with strokes of soft white clouds. The varying shades of green create a harmonious environment, inducing a sense of calm and inviting viewers to imagine the sounds of water lapping against the boats, enhancing the peaceful atmosphere. This work embodies the charm of outdoor life in Spain during the late 19th century, reflecting not just a location but also the leisurely spirit of that era.
