A large, comic-style mural, identified as "De Schelde" from the Antwerp Comic Wall Route, dominates the right side of a grey, multi-story building facade in Antwerp, Belgium. The artwork portrays a blue tugboat named "HIS MAJESTY PULL" navigating through dark and light blue waves under a bright blue sky dotted with white clouds and three flying seagulls. On the tugboat, an older, bald man in a brown suit, white shirt, and red bow tie stands on the aft deck, actively playing a long silver trumpet, from which a single eighth note symbol emanates. Behind him, a wooden barrel rests. Forward of him, two children, one with darker skin in a red shirt and another with lighter skin in a blue shirt, lean over the port side, looking towards the water. Inside the boat's cabin, a character is visible steering a ship's wheel. The vessel's red and orange funnel emits a large volume of thick, dark grey smoke that spirals upwards. Beneath the tugboat, the large tail fin of a whale or fish breaks the dark blue water surface. In the lower-left portion of the mural, an orange fish with pronounced lips and a white belly leaps from the lighter blue water with an open mouth. The artist's signature, "Marc Sleen," is inscribed in black script on the lower right of the mural. The building's visible left section features several rectangular windows with dark frames, reflecting the sky and ambient light. The mural extends down to a grey paved sidewalk containing a metal grate. To the right of the mural, a street scene is partially visible with parked vehicles, including a white van, and bare tree branches under a pale blue sky.
