A horizontally oriented etching depicts a misty coastal landscape. Dense, dark horizontal lines shroud the upper sky, where a bright orb breaks through to cast a shimmering path of light onto the water. Along the horizon, spindly masts of sailing ships and industrial silhouettes emerge from the haze toward the right. The foreground remains a vast, light-toned expanse of water, with faint markings and a signature appearing in the lower right corner.
