The painting is in the style of the Russian artist Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky.In the central part of the canvas there is a sailboat standing on a raid near the walls of the Genoese fortress. The rays of the rising sun turn the sails of the ship pale pink. The turquoise expanse of the sea is calm, and the unfurled sails are reflected in it, as if in a mirror. In the foreground of the painting, on a sandy beach near the sea, the viewer sees a cart pulled by two oxen and a boat approaching the shore. Near the cart and boat, the author depicted local residents dressed in national costumes.
In the haze of morning fog, the outlines of sailboats standing in the bay are barely discernible. The rays of the sun rising over the mountains fill the sky, the peaks of the rocks and the sea near the horizon with a warm lemon yellow color.
In the misty haze on the tops of the coastal cliffs, you can see the ancient towers of the ancient Genoese fortress.
The painting is imbued with lyrical romanticism, which is especially felt on Aivazovsky's canvases, painted in the so-called oriental taste.
