Artist, American, 1876 - 1942

The image displays a waterfront skyline with various city buildings and structures. The horizon is positioned near the top one-third of the composition. The buildings include ships with sails, chimneys, and rooftops. The artwork appears to be a monotype or etching with delicate, sketchy lines outlining the forms and providing subtle shading. The color palette is monochromatic, using primarily black and gray tones against the natural color of the paper. Waves and ripples of the water are suggested with minimal brushwork or line work adding texture to the water in the foreground.
