The work features a range of colors, including blues, browns, and grays, used to create depth and atmosphere. Bold and expressive brushstrokes add texture and energy to the scene, while the level of detail is notable for its precision and care.

The painting is held in the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst. Pieter Casteels II, active from 1673 to at least 1701, was a Flemish painter known for imaginary Italianate landscapes and harbor views, although this work predates his known active period.
