Abstract

A foreshore landscape, with human figures in a small boat, vegetation, and a building.

Description

Drawing. "RF" FitzRoy [top right corner; tick top centre right]


In the left foreground lies a rather rocky inlet, on which floats a rowing boat with a flat stern, facing right. The boat has three figures aboard, standing in `souwesters', one at the stern leaning over the rudder. The right foreground is occupied by roughly even land at the water's edge, sporting a couple of tufts of grass. In the midground across the whole picture, a dense strip of bushes is shown, with more distant trees indicated at the left-hand edge, and four large trees in the left centre. All four trees are in leaf, the two behind being shown in outline only, the other two in some detail. In the centre stands a fifth tree, whose less dense foliage allows a view behind it and above the line of bushes to a darkly pencilled timber and thatched building, with some indication of horizontal wallboarding and a window or door. To its right stands a sixth tree similar to the fifth, between which and the slope of the roof of the building the tops of more distant trees are visible.
