A vertically oriented etching depicts a beach with men with light skin tone operating a large wooden capstan. In the foreground, muscular figures push long horizontal poles, hatches shading their muscles. Behind them, four sailboats with tall masts rest on the shore. Above, a textured sky with dark cross-hatching creates heavy clouds. An inscription at the bottom reads "Bárka vontatás."
