The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print. The print is divided into two sections by a fence across the bottom, with a railing and posts. The left section shows a large white ship with three masts flying a red flag, and a smaller ship with three masts in the distance; both are sailing on blue water. The right section shows a large brown ship with three masts flying a Dutch flag, sailing on blue waves; several ropes are visible on the ship. The background features blue sky with white clouds on the right. The color palette includes blue, red, white, brown, and black. The image borders contain Japanese text written vertically on red rectangles. The bottom center features a red and blue object, possibly a cushion. The overall composition and color scheme are characteristic of traditional Japanese art. The title of the work is "Curio Shop in Yokohama" by Utagawa (Gountei) Sadahide.
