Watercolor of ships anchored in a bay below a mountain, with figures resting on a grassy rocky slope in the foreground.

The Heights over Foilhummerum Bay, Valentia, the William Corey Heading

A watercolor view across a calm bay toward a peaked mountain, with several sailing ships at anchor on the water. In the right foreground, a small group of seated figures, one wearing red, rests on a grassy rocky slope above a stony shoreline.

Look closer: A small rowboat with a figure stands near the shore among the rocks.
