Yachting on the Bay c. 1928 - 1930

"Yachting on the Bay" is a pencil drawing by Henrietta Mary Shore, created between 1928 and 1930. The work depicts a scene of three sailboats racing across a bay, with a distant shoreline and puffy clouds overhead. Shore’s simplified shapes and stylized forms suggest a more abstract approach, demonstrating her experimentation with different artistic styles. This artwork is a testament to Shore’s mastery of the pencil, capturing the movement of the sailboats and the subtle nuances of light and shadow with delicate precision.
