This maritime scene is executed in watercolour with gouache highlights on paper, depicting a two-masted sailing vessel and a steam-powered tugboat navigating choppy, grey-green waters under a clouded sky. The work is rendered in a realistic style typical of early 20th-century British marine art. The composition is signed W.T.N Boyce dated 1905 in the lower right corner. The painting is presented in a multi-lined washline mount and housed in an ornate gilt frame with decorative plaster elements.
