Alaska Seal Fisheries

James Fagan

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a coastal landscape with water leading to a distant horizon. Snow-covered mountains are in the distance, and seals rest on rocky outcrops near the shore. A canoe with two people paddling towards ships is visible. There are clouds in the sky, and another vessel emits smoke in the distance. The artwork is monochrome in shades of grey and brown.
