The perspective leads the viewer down a sunlit dock, with boats moored on either side. A large sailboat with striking dark tones dominates the left side, contrasting against the bright reflections in the water. Lush green trees frame the right side, their leaves dappled with sunlight, further enhancing the depth of the scene. The overall composition conveys a peaceful yet lively atmosphere, evoking the charm of a coastal harbour on a warm afternoon on Granville Island.
