Image is of a boat sailing through the water slightly behind another boat. The focal boat has a big sail, of which we can see the bottom half on which is printed an eagle with its wings spread in front of a black sun with large, white sunbeams extending around it. The sail is divided in vertical segments with a small, white wavy line at the bottom of each segment. There is a winged, young nude male leaning against the prow of the ship, with his hands held up above his eyes, peering into the distance. The ship is ornate and on the bow is carved five white doves. There are waves throughout the water. There is the appearance of wind in the sky. In the far distance in the background, to the left, is a small town. In the foreground, to the left, there is a rock in the water with what appears to be a broken part of a ship on it and the rock is covered in kelp, starfish, and a piece of wood. The second boat, of which we only see the stern, is also ornate with a face carved into the back. The author’s signature is in the lower-right corner of the image, in white against the black of the semi-shown boat. The image engraver’s signature, “Hare Sc” is in the lower-right corner. The image is horizontally displayed with a bounding box of two thin lines.
