A vertically oriented lithograph depicts a monochrome maritime scene on aged, cream-colored paper. A large, two-masted ship occupies the center, its furled sails and rigging rendered with precise lines. To the left, a stone pier with seated figures borders the dark, reflective water. On the right, a windmill and a distant vessel appear under a hazy sky. Fine hatching creates depth, while light, airy strokes suggest clouds and soaring birds.
