View of New York from Williamsburg

Black and white painting of a harbor scene. A large ship with two sails is in the foreground. The ship has a tall mast with rigging and a large dark sail. A smaller sail is set on a boom on the near side. The ship is moored to a short pier on the left. A low wall runs along the shore in the bottom left corner. Several people are standing on the pier and the shore. A smaller boat with one white sail is in the water to the right. There are several other ships and boats in the harbor, some with smoke rising from their chimneys. The background shows a city skyline across the water. The sky is cloudy.
