This drawing features two large, stylized sea creatures surrounding a central coat of arms. The creatures have prominent eyes and layered scales, and they curl around the coat of arms which is topped by a crown. In the background, ocean waves are visible. Beneath the coat of arms, there is an inscription that reads "PAYSAGES MARITIMES, Faicts par S.D. Bella., et Mis en lumière par Israel". The linework is detailed and intricate, typical of classical engraving styles.
