A horizontally oriented etching in sepia tones depicts a hazy harbor scene. Fine, cross-hatched lines form dark clusters of sailboats on the left, their tall masts casting vertical reflections into the water. A solitary gondolier rows toward grand waterfront buildings on the right. In the distance, church domes rise under a vast sky filled with rhythmic, swirling lines that weave into a dense, atmospheric layer of clouds.
