A horizontal etching in black ink depicts a coastal village. In the foreground, two wooden boats sit on the water, one carrying a figure. Dark, dense dashes form foliage on the left, beside gabled houses outlined in fine strokes. To the right, the shoreline recedes toward a distant horizon where faint masts rise. Delicate, sketchy lines define the structures in the lower half, while a vast, pale sky occupies the upper half.
