Signac captures the bustling activity of the port: the left bank comes is animated with silhouettes, while the right is revealed in a forest of masts and sails, flags fluttering in the wind. The water, like a mirror of the sky, shimmers with color, while the lines of the rigging and masts create a visual rhythm where the movement of the men seems to echo the verticality of the ships.

The palette favors light and luminous tones, to express this festive atmosphere or joyful stopover, a celebration of maritime life so dear to Paul Signac's heart.
