The image depicts a coastal scene with a large, prominently featured fish in the foreground. The fish appears to be a type of whale or large marine mammal, with detailed lines and textures used to render its appearance. In the background, there are people standing on the shore, as well as ships or boats in the water. The overall scene has a historical or allegorical feel, with the image likely serving an illustrative or symbolic purpose rather than a purely realistic depiction.

The image depicts a beach scene with several dead whales or dolphins lying on the shore. Dozens of people can be seen gathered around the large marine mammals, some sitting or standing on top of them, others carrying harpoons or other tools. The scene appears to be from an earlier time period, likely the 17th-19th century based on the style of clothing the people are wearing. In the background, rolling hills or cliffs can be seen along the coastline. The etching style and Latin caption at the bottom suggest this is an illustration from an old book or manuscript documenting a mass stranding event or whaling operation.

This is a historical engraving depicting a beached whale with several people gathered around it on a shoreline. The scene appears to be from the 16th or 17th century, based on the artistic style and the clothing of the figures, who are wearing wide-brimmed hats and period attire. In the background, there are sand dunes, boats on the water, and more onlookers gathered to view the stranded marine mammal. The whale is rendered in great detail with fine line work showing its distinctive features. The image includes Latin text at the bottom, which was common in engravings from this period. The entire scene captures what must have been a significant event for the coastal community, as beached whales were relatively rare occurrences that would draw crowds of spectators.
