This original watercolour is a study in blues! It depicts two Norwegian sailing vessels, or barques, at anchor a short distance from the Lyme Bay coastline. The nearest vessel is flying the Norwegian flag on its main mast; the flag is red with an indigo blue Scandinavian cross edged in white. There are half a dozen figures on board the vessel, some attending to the rigging. There is a small rowing boat attached to its stern, with a single figure on board. There are no sails on the masts of either boat, and we feel that they are at rest. The sea is calm, a myriad of blues and purple greys, and the vast sky above echoes the colours between the white clouds. There is a slight swell on the sea, but the peaceful with a good sense of perspective.
