Artist, Dutch, c. 1616 - 1677

The image shows an old stone structure against a sketched horizon. The horizon line is low, emphasizing the structure. In the distance, faint outlines suggest more buildings or landscape features. The lines are finely detailed with cross-hatching for shadows and texture. The color scheme is monochromatic, using shades of black on cream paper. Barrels and crates are near the water's edge, with a few figures and boats in the scene.
