A horizontally oriented etching with fine, intricate hatching depicts a harbor scene where a large ship tilts sharply left. Small vessels surround the hull for maintenance, while a sailboat with a tall sail drifts toward the right. In the foreground, two figures in a rowboat glide across calm water near a floating basket. A low horizon features distant windmills and masts under a pale sky filled with light, delicate clouds.
