Aerial view of the port of Cenchrées (Corinth). The drawing is in landscape format. It is arranged within a frame drawn in ink, with only the lower margin visible.
Traces of watercolor are visible in the margin. Inscriptions appear on the reverse. The harbor is organized around a bay. Boats are moored. Goods are stored on the quays before being loaded onto ships. Warehouses are built all around. The Temple of Isis stands to the right of the drawing. The island of Aegina is visible in the distance. To the left are Salamis and the Diaporii islets.
