An untitled and possibly unfinished watercolor by Gerald Leake depicting a maritime scene, capturing the serene yet somber mood of a cloudy day at sea. Dominating the foreground is a sandy shore where two boats are moored; the larger one equipped with a single mast and a smaller rowboat lying partially on land. Dynamic brushstrokes and muted hues convey the tumultuous sky and tranquil sea, highlighting the contrast between the threatening clouds and the calm water.Artwork Details
