Masts and sails can be seen along with buildings on and behind the Stade. A fishing boat waits off the harbour and a smaller craft is sailing further inshore. The scene is depicted in the early evening with a yellow sky, and purpling clouds, lit from below by the setting sun. An inscription, in Dr. Bishop's hand and preserved on the back of the frame, states: 'View of Folkestone Harbour from the Copt Rocks. It shows the sand bank or bar blocking the harbour mouth.'
