The central vessel, with its black hull and black funnel, glides gracefully across an azure-blue sea beneath a bright sky dotted with white clouds. Beyond the ship, a lighthouse stands sentinel on the shoreline, while another vessel can be seen making its way into the harbour in the distance.

The coastal landscape is rich in detail, featuring a castle, the ruins of an old abbey, a statue, and several other buildings, all rendered with charm and a touch of naive artistry. The painting is signed by the artist and retains its original bare wood frame, typical of the 1970s period, complementing its vintage appeal.

Measuring 63 cm x 43 cm, this work exudes a decorative maritime character, combining nostalgia with an engaging, folk-art sensibility that would make it a delightful addition to any coastal or vintage-themed interior. This piece has an attribution mark,
