The painting is characterized by its detailed rendering of ships and boats, the reflections on the water, and the lively atmosphere of a working harbour. Koekkoek's use of color and his ability to convey the textures of the sea and sky demonstrate his adherence to the traditions of Dutch marine painting, while also showcasing his own artistic flair. The composition typically features a variety of vessels, possibly including fishing boats and merchant ships, set against a backdrop of a town or cityscape indicative of a Dutch port.

"Harbour Scene" reflects the economic and cultural significance of maritime trade in the Netherlands during the 19th century. Koekkoek's work not only captures the picturesque quality of the Dutch harbours but also serves as a historical document of the era's naval architecture and the vibrancy of port life.
