label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing coastal views around Saint-Pierre and Petty Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Isolated from the rest of the composition by a curving line, a view of coastal cliffs along the island of Saint-Pierre is shown at upper center. A separate scene of ships anchored in the water near the town of Petty Harbour stretches across the composition in the middle. At left, a sloping and rugged coastline descends to the water's edge, where at least seven ships are anchored. Another indistinct sketch is included along the lower margin, possibly showing fog or a coastal landscape.
