A tall lighthouse stands to the left of the image on the end of a point with colorfully-painted houses and a church standing along the point to the right. A three-masted ship is sailing past in the background, and a red and white striped flag is flying from the roof of a house next to the lighthouse. Handwritten text at the top of the image appears to offer advice to sailors entering the port, while text at the bottom contains the title of the painting, and what may be the name Chas Randle.
