- Description
- Seascape sketches showing seven views and details of icebergs floating off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, roughly organized into two vertical rows. At upper left, the jagged, cragged top of an iceberg is faintly visible. Below it are two icebergs: the uppermost one highlighted in white gouache, while the lower one is roughly cubic in shape with a tall pillar beside it at right. At upper right, two details of irregularly frozen ice are included. Below it, three views of a single iceberg are shown. It appears to turn leftward as the artist shifted perspective by sailing around it to the right.
