Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The etching depicts a scene with a viewer looking across a body of water towards a distant town. The horizon is low, with the sky dominating the composition. Various structures and ship masts are visible on the horizon, creating a silhouette. The style uses fine lines to show the scene with detailed architecture and ship rigging. The color palette is limited to sepia and brown tones. The water reflects the scene's lines, with birds adding movement. More ships and a small island are faintly visible in the distance.
