A scene showing both a variety of shipping off Amsterdam, and activity ashore. In between a states yacht on the left and a larger merchant ship on the right are several smalschips with their patchwork of sails. A barge is moored alongside on the right on the far side of the jetty with leeboard visible. One man on deck stops to chat to a man leaning on the jetty. A number of people are actively involved loading and offloading from the number of small boats clustered around. A woman in a broad brimmed hat is also visible on the jetty. In the foreground are more figures as well as a dog. The man on the far left attends to his nets. The buildings of Amsterdam are recognisable on the far right, including the Tower of Montalban and the Oude Kerk.
