A vertically oriented etching in dark ink depicts a silhouetted man seated on a small boat. Dense, overlapping hatches cover the entire surface, obscuring the horizon where water meets sky. Lobster traps rest at both ends of the vessel. The man faces right, his form a dark mass against hazy, mottled tones. Below the image at the bottom right, a handwritten signature and the date: "1915."
