The view overlooking the harbour of St Ives. The perspective is from a hillside garden, visible in the foreground, with washing hanging from a line to the left and an ivy-clad stone wall to the right. The empty harbour is visible in the background over the rooftops of nearby houses. It is scattered with beached fishing boats chained to the sea wall. In the distance, open sea is met with the hilly coast line and pale blue sky.
