Among the Ice Floes

William Bradford

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a seascape with ships anchored in icy waters. The horizon is low with towering icebergs creating a boundary between the sky and water. The style appears to be an etching with fine lines outlining the ships and ice. The color palette is monochromatic with sepia tones. Patches of ice float in the water, while ships are seen in the distance across ice and water.
