Fishing Boats off an Estuary
A broad, overcast estuary stretches toward a low horizon, with small sailing boats scattered across grey-blue water. In the foreground a figure in a dark hat sits in a small boat at left, while a larger sailboat with a tall tan sail dominates the right. Painted in oil on panel, the scene is quiet and atmospheric.
