This etching, created by Stefano della Bella between 1640-1650, is a detailed depiction of a ship disembarking. The scene is filled with figures, including galley slaves standing and sitting near a barrel on the right side of the composition. In the distance, a mountain looms large, adding to the dramatic landscape. The artist's attention to detail and the composition's balance make this etching a fine example of della Bella's mastery of the printmaking medium. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City houses this artwork, a valuable addition to their collection of 17th-century European art.
