The image is an etching of a landscape scene. In the foreground, there are rocky formations with figures near a small boat. To the left, there are dense foliage and trees leading up to a house on a hill. The horizon divides the sky and sea, with clouds in the sky. On the right, there are two sailboats on the water. The image is monochromatic and uses intricate line work and cross-hatching for texture.
