A horizontally oriented etching with fine, cross-hatched lines depicts a harbor scene. On the right, a large wooden vessel with detailed rigging and sails rests on the water. To the left, several figures occupy a small rowboat, one standing with a long oar. In the distance, multiple sailing ships and birds are scattered under a sky of billowing clouds. The bottom margin features the inscriptions "C.M." and "d'après Zeeman."
