A horizontally oriented etching in brown ink with fine lines depicts a sailboat with a tall mast resting in shallow water. Sparse strokes form small figures working near the hull. Thin poles dot the marshy ground, casting long vertical reflections onto the still water under a vast sky. Text at the lower left reads "Oyster Grounds," with a signature at the lower right.
