British Fleet off Salamis (from Sketchbook)

Mary Newbold Sargent

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a fleet of naval ships. The ships are drawn along a straight horizon line. On the left, a large ship with two masts. To the right, smaller ships with one mast each. A mountain or hill on the horizon, behind and between the fourth and fifth ships. The sky takes up most of the image and is blank. A black border surrounds the sketch. Handwritten cursive text on the bottom right reads "British fleet off Salamis" on one line and "Sept 26 84" on the next.
