A captivating 19th century maritime oil painting depicting fishing vessels with distinctive reddish sails beached at low tide within a coastal scene. A small section of pier and a "lost" anchor add authentic maritime details to this panoramic seascape. In the distance on the horizon we see sailing ships; on the left of the composition the artist has depicted steep coastal hills illuminated by soft sunlight. The style and execution suggest this may be the work of a British artist, reflecting the popular maritime painting traditions of the period.
