This image is a black and white etching or print depicting a busy harbor scene. On the left, there is a building with a clock tower adjacent to a bustling dock populated with various figures. Some of these figures appear to be in conversation, while others are engaged in activities associated with port life, possibly loading or unloading goods.

The center and right portions of the image are dominated by a series of masts belonging to the docked sailing ships. The sails are mostly furled, and the rigging is detailed, indicating a scene of calm activity—no ship appears to be setting sail or arriving. The harbor itself is not visible, but the presence of the ships and their positioning suggests that water would be just before the foreground.

The etching style gives the scene depth and texture through the use of hatching, cross-hatching, and varying line weights. The details of the figures are quite fine and provide a sense of movement and business, which is typical of harbor scenes.

In the bottom right corner, there is a signature along with the year "1855" which appears to indicate the artist and the year of creation. The image has an overall historical feel and might be depicting a scene from the 19th century.
