The image shows two boats on a calm body of water with figures in period attire. Some figures are standing while others are sitting. The horizon is low in the composition, with distant outlines of trees and a structure on the left. The etching style uses delicate line work with a stark black ink contrast against a light background. The color palette is monochrome. Close figures wear hats and hold spears, adding to the historical narrative of the scene.
