A horizontally oriented etching in black ink on beige paper depicts a bustling waterfront. In the right foreground, a tall building with balconies overlooks a promenade where a woman carries baskets on a shoulder yoke. To the left, various sailboats and ships dot a wide expanse of water. Precise cross-hatching and fine lines define the architectural forms, rippling water, and hazy sky, with heavy shading emphasizing the foreground figures and structures.
