Artist, British, 1879 - 1970

The image depicts a port with architectural elements, ships, and a stone tower on the left side. Several ships are anchored in the harbor, with their masts reaching towards the sky. In the distance, the city skyline meets the sky, with a prominent spire rising among smaller structures. The horizon separates the sky from the townscape. The artwork is characterized by precise etchings, creating a detailed and textured quality. The color palette is monochromatic with varying shades of brown. Reflections in the water add depth to the composition.
