This image shows a busy harbor scene with lots of ships. The ships have tall masts and sails, some with flags or rigging. In the background, there’s a city skyline with buildings and a bridge. The water looks choppy, and the whole scene is drawn in black lines on a light paper. Notice the name *Lillo* written in the top right corner—this might be the harbor’s name. The artist used fine lines to show every rope and wave, which is typical of this style. Try looking up etching to see how artists create detailed prints like this.
