Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image depicts a coastal landscape viewed from an elevated perspective. On the left, steep cliffs rise dramatically. The horizon is high in the composition, where the sea meets the sky, with distant undulating hills and tiny, silhouetted ships. The style of the etching is characterized by precise, linear brushstrokes enhanced by cross-hatching. The color palette is monochromatic, with black lines on a beige background.
