The image shows a grand building with neoclassical architectural features, including columns, across water. The perspective is symmetrical, facing the building. The horizon line is low at the base of the building where it meets the water. Boats with sails are on the water. The artwork has precise linework, typical of an etching. The color palette is sepia. In the distance, the architectural design continues with a repetition of windows and decorative elements. Small figures are visible along the water's edge.
