Description: | A seascape with a ruined castle. The coastline curves to the distant left from foreground right. Part of a castle juts out into the water, surrounded by rocks. Behind this to the right, part of a bridge can be seen, with a male figure walking over it and waterfalls cascading above and below. In the foreground right, three people shelter under a canopy on a large rowing boat. Two men are rowing and a boy sits at the prow. Three larger boats with masts can be seen to the left, and on the distant coastline at left are further turret style buildings.
