A tranquil coastal evening scene: fishing boats rest at low tide in a sheltered inlet, with figures working along the shore and a small rowboat drifting in the calm water. Rustic buildings and drying sails complete the maritime setting. The soft, muted palette of greys, browns, and silvery blues captures the stillness of twilight, with delicate reflections across the water. Atmospheric and contemplative, it evokes the quiet industry of a bygone fishing village.
