In the foreground, merchants bring their goods to the shore, behind them a few more boats and a French ship arrive in the harbor.

Small flaw in the upper left half of the image, reminiscent of a bird. In a very finely stuccoed profile frame of gilded wood with rocailles (imperceptible losses in the gilding).
