"Dock scene, a sign on the wall reads 'Bell Wharf': a man in a black coat and hat stands writing, resting the paper on a crate, looking to right at a young man with a neck-tie, who stands beside a man carrying a sack, giving an account, hat in hand, while gesturing to another man who brings a barrel up the steps and talks to a man in a rowing boat, alongside to right, with wife and two children to left."--British Museum online catalogue, description of another print engraved after the same painting
