This image is a black and white engraving or illustration. It appears to be from an older publication, given the style of the artwork, which suggests early printing techniques. The scene depicts a chaotic battle on water between human figures in boats and a large, fanciful sea creature. This creature has features reminiscent of a fish or dragon, with scales, large eyes, and a gaping mouth. It also has spiral-shaped tentacles or horns, and part of its body is coiled above the water surface.
