This is an etching or pen-and-ink drawing depicting a maritime scene. There are three boats close to the foreground with distinct features. The boat on the left is smaller with a taut, white sheet draped over a part of it, while the middle boat appears somewhat larger, with visible oars and a bit of water inside. The rightmost boat is the largest, with a prominent mast and sail that is furled. A person sits on the edge of this boat, looking out towards the water, potentially a sailor or fisherman.

In the background, you can see a tranquil body of water that could be a lake or a calm sea. Further off, there is a depiction of land with buildings that resemble a small town or village. There are trees dotted around the buildings and a windmill on the right side, suggesting a pastoral setting that might be European, judging from the architecture and landscape.

The sky above is filled with birds in flight, indicating an open sky that adds to the calmness of the scene. The lightness of the strokes for the sky contrasts with the more detailed and densely packed lines of the water and boats, providing a textural contrast within the image.

There appears to be text at the bottom of the drawing, possibly indicating the artist or publisher's name, along with the date which reads "Nov. 15, 1809."

The drawing has a serene quality to it, invoking the quietness of a day spent by or on the water, away from the bustle of modern life.
