On the left side of the composition, there is a tall Corinthian column and the bow of a large, ornate ship with its sail partially unfurled. The bow sprit is decorated with a figurehead. In the background, there are several sailing ships, some with multiple masts, suggesting that this is a busy and important port. Toward the center and right of the scene, smaller rowboats and gondola-like watercraft are nearer to the shore, with figures engaged in various activities such as rowing and conversing. The right section of the scene features classical architecture, with a large building that has a row of columns supporting an entablature. There is a staircase leading up to the building's entrance, and people are depicted ascending the stairs and milling about the area, suggesting a place of importance, possibly a temple or government building. A large tree behind this building is partially obscuring what looks like a defensive tower further in the distance, hinting at the fortification of the harbor. The foreground is lively with people engaged in various activities: some are pushing a wheelbarrow, others appear to be handling cargo and conversing. The attire of the figures is consistent with classical or historical garb, which, along with the architecture and ships, lends an ancient or Renaissance feel to the image. At the bottom of the image, text indicates that the scene is from an original drawing in the collection of the Duke of Devonshire and that it was published in September 1774 by John Boydell in Cheapside. The artists' names are included: "Claude le Lorrain delin." (meaning "drawn by Claude Lorrain") and "R. Earlom fecit." (meaning "made by Richard Earlom"). This engraving could be a part of a series of "Liber Veritatis" (Book of Truth), which included works by the French artist Claude Lorrain who specialized in landscape paintings, with reproductions often executed by Earlom.
