The image depicts a historical harbor scene, rendered in a style characteristic of an etching or engraving from previous centuries. We see a bustling port with various boats, some moored and others with sails unfurled, suggesting both the activities of daily commerce and perhaps preparations for departure or recent arrivals. In the foreground, on the right, there is a group of individuals engaged in conversation or perhaps in the midst of a business transaction, with one figure gesturing while another sits on the ground attending to the scene.

The architecture of the buildings along the waterfront is typical of an older European town, featuring a dense arrangement of multistory structures exhibiting pitched roofs, visible chimneys, and what might be shopfronts or homes at the water's edge. The natural environment is also prominent in this image, with a rugged cliff face providing a dramatic backdrop to the human activity and suggesting a coastal locale that might be prone to harsh weather conditions, as indicated by the tumultuous clouds and energetic waves.

There is text below the image that appears to be written in French, possibly identifying the location as "Le Port de Dieppe," which is a port in the region of Normandy in France, and mentions individuals who might be dedicatees or perhaps influential figures associated with the port. The addition of an elaborate coat of arms or crest in the lower right corner of the image adds to its historical and formal presentation. This type of image could be found in a history book, as part of a collection of prints, or used to illustrate narratives from the time. The image is monochromatic, which suggests it may have been produced using traditional printmaking techniques of the time such as engraving or etching.
