Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sepia-toned etching of a seascape titled "The Beacon" by Arthur John Trevor Briscoe. The scene shows a calm body of water with several sailboats. The boats have their sails up and are positioned on the left and right sides of the image. The sailboat on the left has one large triangular sail and one smaller triangular sail. The boats on the right have triangular sails. The water reflects the boats and the sky. The foreground shows a tree trunk on the right and a shoreline. The artist's signature appears at the bottom right. The title "The Beacon" and the artist's name "A. Briscoe" are written at the bottom left.
