Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image shows a coastal village scene. The buildings are densely packed, with chimneyed rooftops. Small boats are moored along the shore with human figures nearby. The sky is lightly sketched without clouds. The artwork features fine, detailed etching with cross-hatching techniques. The color palette is sepia-toned, giving a vintage appearance. Buildings ascend in layers, creating depth and leading the eye upward along the composition.
