A black ink wash drawing within a black ink ruled border on paper of a topographical work which depicts a view of the Sydney settlement on the western side of Sydney Cove. The view takes in the distinctive Norfolk Pine tree in the Government House garden on the far left, to the Government Dry Store just beyond Government Wharf, the Magazine and Military Barracks above the store, the three-storey Granary to the right, to the classical proportions of the Orphan School with its fenced grounds running down to the shore of the cove. The clock tower above the parade ground can be seen on the sky line. The Second Government Windmill also dominates on the heights above the settlement and the new gaol building is behind the long, low wall on the shore below. On the extreme right of the view can be seen the start of Hospital Wharf. A ship is anchored in the cove and in the central foreground are two Aboriginal canoes. The central canoe has three people in it, the figure at the front of the canoe is standing and fishing with a long spear. The canoe on the right depicts two other Aboriginal people, who are cooking fish in their canoe, the smoke rising from the prow.
