Image shows a harbour wall with steps cut into the wall at right. Several children stand and sit atop the wall. At far left, a child sits, his legs hanging over the edge of the wall. He is barefoot, his trousers are rolled up above the knee, and his right arm is around a dog which lies on the ground to left. A barrel and the bottom of a vertical wooden beam are behind the child. To right, two boys stand. The boy to left wears shorts and a cap; the boy to right rests his hands against his companion's chest and back. To their right, a boy squats, leaning over the wall. His shirt sleeves are rolled up, and in his right hand he holds a line connected to a small, conical fishing net which hangs near the bottom of the wall, just above the water. A larger boy wearing a cap squats behind him.
