Artist, Belgian, 1872 - 1929

The image shows a low vantage point near the edge of a body of water, with a view of a stone structure and buildings aligned along a coastline. The horizon is low with dark silhouettes of the buildings. The image is in sepia tone. The water is dark, reflecting light, leading towards the stone buildings. The sky is overcast, and the scene appears quiet.
