The middle panel features a ship with white sails on the water, and a dog on the shore; the ship and shore are separated by choppy blue water. The right panel shows people in Western-style clothing on a dock, with a large ship's bow extending into the frame from the right; a white building with a golden roof is visible in the background. The sky is blue with white clouds. The scene shows a mix of Western and Asian visual elements. The artwork appears to be a woodblock print. The title of the artwork is "Sailing from a California Port" and the artist is Utagawa Sadahide.
