A vertical etching in black ink depicts a harbor scene. Fine, scratchy lines sketch a row of wharf buildings and a central clock tower against a pale sky. Signs for "W.N. SPARKS" and "C. WEST" mark the facades. Boats cluster at a pier behind a small rowboat. Below, the composition is dominated by a dark, dense mass of vertical strokes, creating deep, murky reflections that fill the bottom half.
