Seine Fishing off Charcoal Burners' Point, Akaroa, Banks' Peninsula, 1845

Charles Meryon

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white landscape drawing of a mountainous coastline. The drawing depicts a shoreline, with a beach on the left and a body of water on the right. People are in a canoe near the center and on the beach on the left, some holding long fishing rods. Trees line the beach on the left. Mountains line the background, with a cloudy sky. The mountains appear rugged and steep. The water reflects the sky's light. The drawing includes French text at the bottom and top right. The text at the bottom appears to read "Nouvelle Zelande, Presqu'ile de Banks, 1845" and additional smaller text. The image has an off-white border around it.
