Ship portrait of an early American ship, Harriet of Georgetown, coming in to a harbor in Holland. The "Harriet" is shown in three-quarters view, her stern towards the viewer. Her name is emblazoned on the stern, and she flies an early American flag. Other ships in the background fly Dutch flags. Various small boats fill the harbor, one at foreground right approaching two men on a shore. There is another shore visible, with a tall tower, on the horizon at far left. Artist name and date printed in left corner of bottom margin.
