Hastings 1925

"Hastings," a 1925 etching by Scottish artist James McBey, depicts a coastal scene with a line of beached boats and figures working on the shore. McBey is known for his masterful use of line and his depictions of everyday life, often capturing the atmosphere of a place. The etching's delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of realism and the details of the boats and figures, combined with the expansive seascape, offer a glimpse into a bygone era. The artist's signature and the date are included in the lower right corner.
