The Ebb Tide 1922 - 1923

"The Ebb Tide" is a 1922-1923 etching by British artist James McBey. The artwork depicts a tranquil scene of ships at anchor in a calm harbor, with the subtle ebb of the tide visible in the reflections of the boats in the water. The use of soft, delicate lines and subtle shading creates a sense of quietude and peace. McBey's work is often admired for its mastery of etching techniques and his ability to capture the beauty of the natural world.
