Front view of the rowers on the trireme Olympias. The drawing is in portrait format. It is framed in ink. Traces of watercolor and inscriptions are visible in the margins. The sheet is folded in two. The photocopy of the original is on the reverse.
The Roman galley is on the water, not far from Cape Misene. Three tiers of rowers, seated three by three on benches, move the ship forward.
