An engraving of a maritime scene. In the foreground water, a mermaid or sea creature with a long fish tail swims, facing towards the right. On the right-hand shore, two men in seventeenth-century attire stand observing the sea; the figure further right appears to be wearing a cloak and a wide-brimmed hat. In the background, several large three-masted sailing ships, likely galleons, are positioned within a bay or harbor. On the left shore, additional figures are visible near a small structure or tent. The entire scene is framed by a simple rectangular border, though the print is light and somewhat worn.
