Une cale sèche

Paysage et aquarelle anglais, première moitié du XIXe siècle

The image is a pencil sketch showing a coastal scene. The horizon line is visible with hills or cliffs meeting the sky. In the distance, there is a ship with outlined sails. The sketch uses light pencil strokes, creating an unfinished look. The color palette is primarily monochrome with gray tones on beige paper. Closest to us on the right side, there are detailed lines indicating another vessel or structure, with smaller shapes suggesting coastal elements like rocks or debris.
