Genre/Subject Matter
General view over the town out towards the harbour, from the south-west, looking north-east. Several-storeyed white-washed buildings can be seen in the fore- and middleground. To the far left, two apparently fortified towers can be seen on the foothills of the ridge at left; this is likely to be Fort Al-Mirani.
In the bay, two large ships and two smaller boats, possibly dhows, can be seen.
