label: Description
content: Perspective view of an Eastern port, featuring a round citadel topped by a red flag. The windows on the citadel and several openings on the bridge are cut out, with colored fabric and mesh visible through the openings. A stone bridge extends in front of the structure, and several watercraft float in the ocean waters. At front left, a small boat approaches the shoreline, with two figures working to dock the craft. A ship with rolled-up sails floats at right, and on a nearby rocky outcropping, a small figure sits fishing.
