A horizontally oriented etching in black ink depicts an elevated landscape, a tall wooden house on the right rendered in sharp, hatched lines. Expressive, dark strokes convey dense foliage in the foreground. Below the house, a figure leans against a fence. In the distance, a harbor crowded with ships meets a wide body of water, the distant shoreline resting under a pale sky textured with thin, horizontal clouds.
