Fishing Boats Along Quay, Noank, Conn.

John Wesley Beatty

National Gallery of Art

The image shows sailboats docked along a wooden pier in a harbor. Two weathered wooden buildings are on the right side near the water. The horizon is low, with boat masts reaching upwards. The style features etching strokes giving texture to water, reflections, and structures in a monochromatic color palette. A small rocky shoreline is seen in the distance.
