Samuel Prout

Watercolor painting of a seascape with a stone wall and two people sitting on it. The wall is in the foreground and made of large, uneven stones. Two people sit on top of the wall, facing away from the viewer, one wearing a blue dress and the other wearing a brown jacket. In front of the wall is a cannon or large gun. The sea is to the left, with a large ship with three masts on the water. On the right side of the painting is a large building with a gable roof and a hill behind it. In the background, there are hills and a distant shore. The sky is light brown and hazy. The painting style is detailed and realistic. The artist's signature is in the bottom-right corner.
