A painting of several ships in a harbor, with a city faintly visible in the background. A particularly detailed ship occupies the middle ground. Its deck is crowded with people. One of those on board appears to be either handing off or receiving something from two people who stand in an adjacent paddle boat, while another paddle boat full of people floats nearer to the foreground. The sky is yellow and pale blue, with sparse clouds.

A stemmed cup. The cup itself resembles a shell. It has an iridescent surface that is decorated with images of insects as well as a scene involving four figures. The opening faces directly up and is fitted with a flared, gold-colored lip. A curved section of the shell rises vertically above and alongside the opening and terminates in a gold-colored face, perhaps that of a bird. The shell is supported underneath by an ornate stem on a broad, two-tiered base.
