A horizontally oriented etching in black ink on paper depicts a coastal landscape. Fine, jagged lines form mountain peaks in the background under billowing clouds, with a plume of smoke on the right. In the foreground, figures pull a net onto a sandy shore on the left. Small boats and fish dot the calm harbor. Dense trees and an umbrella-shaped tree line the bank. French text is centered at the bottom.
