A horizontal etching in black ink on textured paper captures ships on a turbulent sea. Centrally, a large multi-sailed vessel tilts right amidst densely hatched, rolling waves. To its left, another ship moves away. In the right foreground, a rowboat with figures sits near a steep cliff topped by a small building. Birds dot the sky above. Cursive text reads 'C.M.' on the left and 'd'après Zeeman' on the right.
