A small white rowing boat occupies the foreground, contrasting with the darker, rust-coloured forms behind it.\u003cbr\u003eBroad, visible brushstrokes describe the vessels and their reflections in a restrained palette of blue-grey, deep green, cream and earthy red. Vertical masts and angular framework give structure to the composition, while broken touches of pale paint suggest movement across the water.\u003cbr\u003eThe reverse bears the inscription “Desguaces”, suggesting a shipbreaking or marine salvage setting. Presented in a gold-toned frame with a black outer edge and a fabric-covered inner slip.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnidentified.
