Ships at the Harbor - Nautical Seascape in Charcoal on Paper
Detailed and layered harbor scene by Maude Folmar Ramsey (American, 1908-1993). The viewer is looking out at the harbor, across the water from the docks, buildings, and ships.

This piece is executed in a rectilinear style frequently seen in American mid-century modern compositions.
