A horizontally oriented etching in dark ink on beige paper depicts a harbor scene. A massive, partially dismantled ship anchors the center, its skeletal hull near a fully rigged vessel. Squiggly, dense lines fill the sky and rippling water, where small boats float. In the distant left, a pale sun glows above a domed city skyline. A dark, hatched dock frames the lower right, while sketchy masts rise into the etched sky.
