Misty etching of a domed church silhouette rising above a calm waterfront at dusk, with faint buildings and masts along the horizon.

Nocturne: Salute

A misty etching of a distant city skyline across a wide, flat expanse of water, with a domed church silhouetted at center and faint masts and buildings along the horizon. Soft, feathery lines suggest fog, reflections, and dusk light on a pale sheet.

Español: Nocturno: Salute

Un aguafuerte brumoso de una ciudad lejana, con un amplio y plano espacio de agua y una iglesia con cúpula recortada en el centro. Al horizonte se distinguen mástiles y edificios tenues. Las líneas suaves y difusas sugieren niebla, reflejos y la luz del crepúsculo.

Português: Noturno: Salute

Uma gravura em água-forte enevoada de uma cidade distante, com uma ampla e plana extensão de água e uma igreja com cúpula silhuetada ao centro. No horizonte aparecem mastros e edifícios tênues. Linhas suaves e difusas sugerem neblina, reflexos e a luz do crepúsculo.
