This is a black and white image depicting a classical landscape etching or engraving. The scene includes a seascape with several sailing ships in the distance, both more detailed near the shore and faint in the far background. On the right of the image, there's a group of figures gathered around boats on the shore; some are standing, and one person appears to be sitting in a boat. On the left, there is an elegant stone building or small castle with a tower right by the coast. There are a few people near the building, including a seated figure and someone standing. The terrain is rocky and rugged near the building, easing into a flatter shore where the boats are.

There are inscriptions under the image. The word "SEPTEMBRE" is prominently displayed at the bottom center, suggesting it may be part of a series depicting different months or times of the year. Below this word, there is a dedication that begins with "Dedié a Madame" followed by further text which indicates that the image might be a gift or honorific piece.

Above the dedication, there is some text that says "VUE D'ITALIE de la Maison-Rouge." This indicates that the scene is possibly an Italian view and specifically relates to something called the "Maison-Rouge," which might be the name of the building depicted. Additionally, the numbers "247" and "3093" are seen on the bottom right, which could refer to cataloging, page number, or series number within a collection. The artists or printers' names are also inscribed at the bottom edges—left and right, respectively—but they are not legible in the provided image. Artists frequently include such inscriptions in their prints or etchings to signify their work.
