The etching shows a scene with small boats along a shoreline, with people scattered among them. In the background, there are more boats and buildings of a city. The architecture features domes and spires against a light sky. The composition emphasizes the expanse of the scene with a high horizon. Fine lines are used to depict the crowds and architecture. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of sepia and dark brown ink.
