Artist, French, 1837 - 1863

The image shows a calm body of water with a small house-like structure and tower on a shore to the right. The horizon is visible, separating the water from a distant hilly landscape with faint outlines of hills and ships. On the left, two elevated wooden structures stand over the water, connected to the shore by ramps. The image has a soft, blurred, sepia-toned style and a color palette of brown and beige. The rocky shoreline leads the eye towards the distant architectural elements.
