Drifting

Reginald Cleveland Coxe

National Gallery of Art

The image features a seascape with sailboats in a sepia-toned etching style. The horizon is high, with sailboats dominating the view. A sailboat closest to the viewer creates ripples in the water, reflecting its sails. Other vessels of different sizes can be seen in the distance, including steamships. The brushstrokes are fine and precise, providing a detailed look. The color palette is subdued with warm sepia tones, evoking a classic feel.
