label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the Bay of Beirut and the coast of Lebanon, from the coast near the harbor of Beirut. The waters of the bay extend from the foreground into the background, In the foreground at far right, a kind of wooden framework structure is built upon rocks in shallow water--perhaps for use by fisherman. In the middle distance at left, a ship is anchored in the harbor. In the background, across the bay, the mountainous coastline of Lebanon stretches across the horizon. Puffy white clouds fill an otherwise dark sky above.
