Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image shows an etching of a coastal scene with buildings and boats. The composition has a slightly elevated point of view, with the horizon placed towards the upper third. The buildings and boats are visible on the horizon, created using fine lines and cross-hatching. The artwork has a monochromatic sepia color palette typical of etchings. Tracks and waves guide the eye towards the buildings, with the sandy shore and wooden structures in the foreground.
