Artist, American, born England, 1830 - 1904

The image shows a coastline with a rocky cliff extending into the water, leading to an old wooden structure on stilts. The horizon meets a cloudy sky above the ocean, with ships in the distance. The color scheme is sepia, and the water is blurred, contrasting with the rocky texture. Waves are visible near the shore, while ships are stationary against the sky.
