About the Item

The large Chinese watercolor on European paper depicts a starboard view of a two-master sailing ship with one man sailing the vessel while two passengers can clearly be seen inside through the open window. Another vessel can be seen in the middle ground progressing down another water channel. The light orange-red tinge of sundown washing the ship as it sails on choppy waters with islands and distant mountains in the background.
