The image depicts a coastal settlement with various buildings, including a church with a steeple and a windmill on the horizon. A large sailing ship and a smaller boat are seen at sea. The style is reminiscent of a blue Delftware painting with intricate brushstrokes in shades of blue. The sky is mostly clear with subtle cloud patterns. The scene is framed by a rectangular border with dots, and the top right corner features a scroll-like detail with the inscription "NIEUW AMSTERDAM A.D. 1650" in a decorative font.
