This image depicts a round, framed, black-and-white etching or engraving on a page of a book or a folio. The scene within the circle is a coastal landscape featuring several figures on the shore, some of whom are interacting with small boats. There are rocky outcrops and what appear to be ruins or old buildings, possibly part of a castle or fortress, with a more intact structure in the background. The sea can be seen with ships, and there is a sense of bustling activity. The etching is detailed, showing textures of the clouds, water, and rocky terrain. In the lower-left corner, there is a signature, "A. Perelle, inv.", which likely indicates the artist who invented or drew the original design. In the lower-right corner, another signature reads "N. Poilly excudit" suggesting the name of the engraver who executed the print. The page is numbered "37" in the top-right corner, suggesting that this image is part of a larger series or book. The overall condition of the page is good, though slightly aged with some yellowing and minor wear around the edges.
