About this work

This sketch shows a quiet sea scene with two boats. One is a small, rounded sailing boat in the foreground, its brown sail drooping. The other is a larger ship farther out, with three masts. In the background, a rocky coastline stretches under a pale sky with soft clouds. The title mentions the Dardanelles, a famous strait. The artist wrote the date—July 8 to August 1838—in the corner.
