The image shows an elevated view of a busy dock area, with people walking around, some carrying umbrellas. A large mast with a flag can be seen in the distance. The scene is portrayed using crosshatched etching marks, creating a monochrome color palette of grey and black. On the left side, there are smaller, less detailed vignettes.
