A horizontally oriented etching uses dense lines to depict a harbor under a heavily hatched sky. On the left, a large vessel with textured sails floats near a two-masted boat. A small rowing boat carries figures in the foreground. To the right, two men with light skin tones stand on a rocky outcrop; one points toward the water. Distant buildings and hills line the horizon. Bottom inscriptions read C.M. and d'apres Zeeman.
