Artist, British, 1873 - 1943

The image shows an ocean scene with two ships. The horizon is low in the image, with water meeting the sky. A tugboat emits smoke, and a larger sailing ship is nearby, both reflecting on the water. The artwork is in a monochrome style with fine lines and hatchings for details. The color palette is warm with sepia tones. The sky has crosshatched lines, matching the calm sea.
