The image is an etching featuring a low vantage point looking across water towards a small island or shore area. In the foreground, there is a rowboat with a figure seated inside. To the left, there is a stone structure with an arched opening facing the viewer. Near the building, a few figures are visible, and there is a small tree to the left. In the distance, other buildings, including a domed structure and a tower, are visible on the horizon. The sky is detailed with clouds in fine strokes, giving a textured feel. The color palette is monochromatic with varying shades of brown created through cross-hatching and line work.
