The image shows a landscape viewed from a low vantage point across a body of water towards a distant city scene. The horizon line separates the cityscape from the sky. The city features towers and rounded structures, with a prominent tower. Textured rocks are depicted on the left. Boats are in the water, including a small boat with sails nearby and larger sailing vessels further away. The etching uses fine lines and detailing with a monochrome palette. The sky has wispy clouds outlined with fine lines.
