View of fishing boats on the calm waters of Loch Fyne, Argyll. A number of small sailing boats congregate in the centre around a large tug taking them ashore; a fisherman is visible in the furthermost sailing boat. A second large boat is visible in the background to the right, anchored before hills cast in shadow on the horizon. Seagulls fly low above the water in the bottom right corner whilst others float on the water to the left. Shadowy clouds are scattered across a dusky sky.
