Español: Erith–Atardecer, acuarela con veleros

Una acuarela neblinosa de un río ancho al atardecer, con dos veleros de mástiles y una pequeña embarcación oscura a la izquierda, bajo un cielo nublado y suave. Lavados pálidos de gris, ocre y azul difuminan la orilla lejana, y el agua aparece en trazos horizontales sueltos.
