Artist, Scottish, 1883 - 1959

The image shows a seascape with a calm body of water visible from an elevated position. The horizon line is positioned in the middle of the image, featuring small land masses and distant boats. Close to us, there is a pier with figures standing on and around boats with delicate linework, creating a draft-like effect. The color palette is monochromatic, contrasting dark strokes of boats and figures with the light water and sky.
