The paper has tape residue in the top corners and several small holes along the left edge. The drawing itself is bordered by a thin line. In the drawing, a large ruined tower stands on the left, with a curved wall extending to the left. The tower has several windows and appears to be crumbling. To the right of the tower, there is a ship with its sails down, and to the right of the ship, there is a large rock. The background of the drawing is a flat, open sea. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom left corner of the drawing. The overall style of the drawing is detailed and realistic. The title of the piece is "Caprices: Marine" and the artist is Stefano Della Bella.
