Rotherhithe, etching of ships and men on a riverside quay
An etching showing two men in the foreground, one with a dark cap, seated beside a wooden beam framing a view of masted sailing ships at anchor on a river. Dense cross-hatched lines model the tall rigging, the dark timber, and a pale, luminous sky over the water.
