A harbour view with caprice ruins and a fountain at right, with figures resting in the foreground, horses to the left and ships beyond. The fountain is modelled on Bernini's Triton fountain in Rome. Carlevarijs moved to Venice in 1679, where he developed the Venetian view picture, influencing younger artists such as Canaletto. This picture is clearly inspired by Dutch seventeenth-century seaport scenes, and the details suggest that Carlevarijs also visited Rome.

This work had a pendant which has left the Royal Collection at some period unrecorded. It is closely related to four other caprice views by Carlevarijs in the Royal Collection, which were probably painted in the same period.
