A vertically oriented etching depicts a crowded city harbor from a slightly elevated perspective. In the foreground, figures with light skin tones work on several barges. A single bare tree stands near an elevated train track in the middle ground. Behind them, a dense cluster of tiered skyscrapers rises toward a swirling, textured sky. Fine lines and cross-hatching create deep shadows and detailed windows throughout the bustling, vertical urban landscape.
