The painting depicts the bustling port of Antwerp, a major center of commerce during the 17th century, with a degree of artistic license.

The artist's use of light and shadow, along with his meticulous attention to the reflections on the water, showcases his skill in capturing the dynamic interplay between the natural and man-made environments.
