A horizontally oriented etching on paper depicts a harbor scene with sailing ships. In the center, a large vessel with furled sails angles left. To the right, a massive hull looms, while small rowboats navigate rippling water below. In the far left background, another ship has unfurled sails against a mountainous horizon. Fine, intricate lines and cross-hatching create deep shadows and textures across the monochromatic scene, with birds flying overhead.
