Coming out of Marblehead 1929

"Coming out of Marblehead," a 1929 etching by American artist George Canning Wales (1868–1940), depicts a sailing ship leaving Marblehead Harbor. Wales is known for his nautical scenes, and this work captures the graceful movement of the ship as it sails past a distant lighthouse. The etching's delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of peaceful tranquility, characteristic of Wales's style. The print is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the beauty of the sea and the maritime life of his time.
