Aerial view of the port of Baiae (Baïes). The drawing is in landscape format. It is organized within a frame drawn in ink. Traces of watercolor are visible in the margins. A sketch is present on the reverse, along with some inscriptions.
The town and its port are built around a bay in the Mediterranean Sea. Capri lies in the distance. The houses of Ambulatio and Sossandra and their gardens are in the foreground. The Pison villa is located on the tip of Epitaffio, on the left of the drawing. Caesar’s house stands on the heights to the right.
