Description: | A sketch of the sea made while Everett was at Corbiere in Jersey. He was there from 13 January to 6 February for three weeks. The artist has sketched the rhythmic sequencing of the waves using hatched patterning to depict their movement. The sky contrasts with the sea and there is a source of brilliant light coming from the left of the sky. Towards the horizon the artist has loosely sketched the profile of several ships, a sailing ship on the right and a steamer with black smoke rising on the left. The sky is a bright pink above a dark bank of cloud. Everett has used the buff colour of the paper to enhance the dramatic effect of this rapidly painted sketch. The artist's monogram is bottom right recto.
Artist's mark, lr recto.
