Morning Mist 1928

"Morning Mist" is an etching by American artist George Canning Wales, created in 1928. The artwork depicts two sailing ships in the distance, their hulls and masts silhouetted against a misty, ethereal sky. The image is rendered in grayscale, with the ships' forms created through subtle tonal variation. The light and airy atmosphere creates a sense of tranquility and isolation, typical of Wales' work. The piece reflects the popular American maritime art of the early 20th century and captures a moment of peaceful sailing.
