Prosper Louis Senat

Artist, American, 1852 - 1925

The image shows a nautical scene with calm waters and a high horizon with a distant strip of land and buildings. A large sailing ship is positioned slightly right of center, with smaller vessels and buildings to the left. The style is detailed with fine lines and shading, giving a monochromatic, sepia-toned appearance. The water reflects the ships and the sky above.
