A vertically oriented woodcut print in black ink depicts two sailing vessels in a harbor. Dense, intersecting hatchings form choppy water in the foreground. On the left, a cylindrical lighthouse rises. To the right, vertical lines create tiered buildings and a domed structure topped with a flag. Above, a central sun emits radiating lines into a sky of swirling patterns. Tall triangular sails angle toward the upper right, creating a sense of dynamic movement.
