Entrada del puerto de Calais

J. M. W. Turner, publicado en 1816

The image features a nautical scene with sailboats navigating towards a harbor. The horizon is low in the composition, filled with sails and masts of vessels, and a faint view of the harbor's structures. The brushstrokes or etching technique depict movement and texture, especially in the choppy waves. The color palette is muted, with shades of brown and sepia, giving the image a vintage effect.
