Artist, American, 1889 - 1946

The image shows a harbor village from a water perspective, with the horizon high, rolling hills in the distance, and a row of rustic buildings along the shore. The buildings are tightly packed with traditional architecture. The etching features fine line work to showcase textures and details of the structures and hills. The color palette is monochromatic with varying black and white shades for depth and contrast. A man rows a small boat on the water, reflecting the calm surroundings. Moored boats are lined up behind him along the water's edge, with masts reaching into the sky.
