Evening, New York Harbor

Soft reflections spread across the calm water, while hazy masts and smoke rise faintly on the left under a cloudy evening sky. An etching in dark brown ink shows a row of sailing vessels with tall masts moored at dusk beside a waterfront building with a steep roof and a flag on a pole.
