Artist, American, 1906 - 1973

The image shows a large ship at a harbor, captured from a low angle to emphasize its size. Buildings and structures obscure the low horizon, creating depth. The etching technique utilizes deliberate lines and cross-hatching for texture and shadow. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of gray and black, accentuating contrast and detail. The background includes outlines of cranes and city buildings.
