Its numerous church towers and other prominent buildings stand out sharply against the sky, while the foreground is filled with a lively multitude of large and small sailing vessels. To the right, a large three-masted ship dominates the scene, surrounded by gun smoke from a cannon that has just been fired.

The city view appears to have been set like a painting within an elaborately ornamented frame, composed of pilaster-like compartments, floral motifs, and draperies and garlands along the top.
