Calais - Flushing Boats

Charles Meryon

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of a seascape. Two large boats are in the water on the left side. Both have tall masts with rigging and canvas sails that are furled. A small boat with several people in it is near the boats on the left. A city skyline and spires are on the horizon on the left. A curved mountain rises on the right side. Several smaller boats are on the water in the middle and on the right. Two men are standing on a rocky shore on the right, one gesturing out to sea. A fence runs along the edge of the rocky shore. The sky is cloudy. The image border is thin, and there are signatures at the bottom.
