Lingelbach painted numerous harbour scenes of this type, with exotic figures and statues silhouetted against the sky. However, the figures seem too crude for the artist. This may be an imitation by an amateur, or perhaps a copy after a painting by him. There are some characters on the barrel in the right foreground, and the ones at the bottom could perhaps be read as H. L. [Magnusson, Dutch Drawings no. 248]
