This is probably the etching.

and yet no etching
 

The work is very similar to etching, especially from afar.
However, if you look closely , you can see that it is mixed media. In my estimation - ink , black watercolor, white .
My opinion coincides with the point of view of experts auction house " Scoop " :

There was a good estimate on this sheet.

I believe that this is an etching with aquatint, unlike mascara with whitewash

Port of Murmansk.

I thought so too, and that side of the bay in front of the port (fishing) village houses Minkino like visible.
