An enchanting painting by Gaspare Vanvitelli depicting two sailing ships in a view of the city of Naples from the sea. Prominent is the great galleon on the right, tacking to enter the harbour, escorted by another vessel. The sea is painted in shades of green and blue and is slightly choppy. Vesuvius dominates the background, with the details of the city of Naples at its foot. Other boats can be seen in the distance, while closer at hand is the dock towards which the sailing ship is heading. The wind blows from astern.
Above the scene is a leaden sky in intense shades of blue, with a few barely perceptible clouds.
