A horizontally oriented dark-brown woodblock features a deeply carved, geometric harbor scene. On our left, tall vertical structures with diagonal bracing rise behind a sun-like form with radiating lines. In the center, a large rectangular structure with vertical ridges sits below two mast-like shapes. To our right, a ship with triangular sails floats above a skyline of small rectangular blocks. Sharp, angular gouges define the abstract, jagged composition.
