The image depicts a side view of a seascape with activity near a shoreline. The high horizon is visible under a cloudy sky. Near the horizon, a small sailing boat with two people on board can be seen. Closer to the viewer, there are people on the rocky shoreline engaged in various tasks. A horse-drawn cart is prominently featured with some figures nearby. Detailed etching work is used to show texture and depth in the scene.
