Marine: Souvenir of Medway

Félix-Hilaire Buhot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a nautical scene with wooden structures near the water. A figure is seated by the structures, looking towards the sea. In the distance, a large sailing ship is seen against the horizon. The sea is calm, and the sky has swirling clouds painted in sepia and brown tones. Other boats and a distant structure or lighthouse can be seen.
