Artist, French, 1827 - 1886

The image shows a harbor with numerous ship masts creating a forest-like pattern against the sky, as seen from the water's edge. The horizon is lined with tall masts and a silhouette of a building. The style appears to be an etching with fine lines depicting details of waves, clouds, and structures. The color scheme is mostly black and sepia on a light background, giving a vintage look. The foreground shows docks, boats, and human figures for scale, while the background features cloudy sky and structured forms of masts and architecture.
