A quiet moment along the water is beautifully captured in this vintage black-and-white etching, signed and dated 1976. The composition features a moored boat alongside a weathered dock, with gentle reflections rippling across the surface—an evocative coastal scene that speaks to maritime life and timeless craftsmanship.
Rendered with fine linework and careful shading, the piece showcases the classic qualities of etching or pen-and-ink illustration. The distant shoreline, modest home, and vertical dock posts create depth and balance, drawing the viewer into a serene waterfront setting.
Professionally matted and housed in a sleek black frame with a subtle inner gold accent, this piece blends traditional subject matter with a clean, display-ready presentation.
