Dark brown etching of sailing ships with tall masts moored at dusk beside a waterfront building with a steep roof and a flag, reflected in calm water.

Evening, New York Harbor

Soft reflections spread across the calm water, while hazy masts and smoke rise faintly on the left under a cloudy evening sky. An etching in dark brown ink shows a row of sailing vessels with tall masts moored at dusk beside a waterfront building with a steep roof and a flag on a pole.

Español: Atardecer en el puerto de Nueva York

Reflejos suaves se extienden sobre el agua en calma, mientras mástiles lejanos y humo se elevan débilmente a la izquierda bajo un cielo nublado de tarde. Un aguafuerte en tinta marrón oscura muestra una fila de veleros de mástiles altos amarrados al anochecer junto a un edificio costero de techo empinado y una bandera en un poste.

Português: Anoitecer no porto de Nova York

Reflexos suaves espalham-se pela água calma, enquanto mastros distantes e fumaça aparecem levemente à esquerda sob um céu nublado de fim de tarde. Uma gravura em água-forte, em tons de marrom escuro, mostra uma fileira de veleiros de mastros altos atracados ao entardecer, ao lado de um edifício à beira d'água com telhado íngreme e uma bandeira num mastro.
