A horizontally oriented etching with dense, scratched lines depicts a harbor scene in black and cream, with a large wooden building anchoring the left foreground and its shadows formed by heavy hatching. A pier stretches toward a slender lighthouse on the right, under a sky of thin horizontal strokes. Spindly ship masts rise in the middle ground, while a lone boat floats in the foreground water, surrounded by weathered textures.
