Mersea: Sunset 1924

James McBey's 1924 etching "Mersea: Sunset" depicts a serene seascape with multiple sailboats at anchor. The artist, a renowned printmaker, captures the soft light of the setting sun with a delicate and refined technique. The composition features a prominent sailboat in the foreground, its masts reaching towards the sky, while other vessels recede into the distance. This artwork, a beautiful example of the artist's style, is a visual testament to the calming beauty of nature.
