17th-Century Harbor Marketplace Comic Illustration

franco-belgian comic image of a highly detailed, cinematic scene of a bustling 17th-century European harbor marketplace at dawn on an overcast day. A large wooden sailing ship with complex rigging and partially unfurled sails is docked at the quay, towering over the scene. The dock is crowded with merchants and workers unloading goods—barrels, baskets, and crates. People in period clothing are actively trading, carrying goods, and conversing. The ground is cobblestone, slightly wet and reflective, scattered with ropes, sacks, and crates. Seagulls are present near the water and on the ground. Light haze and distant ships in the background add depth.
