60. The Shrimp-catcher. A view from the shore, under
the appearance of a fine calm morning. On the left is a
group of three fishermen, one of whom has a basket at his
back, another is seated on a boat, and the remaining one
stands near them : beyond these is a smack lying on the
sands, and a number of persons near it: from hence the eye
looks to a range of sand hills. Near the centre of the view
is a smack with three men on board, one of whom is taking a
bundle from a man’s shoulders, who stands in the water : the
remaining person is a man in the shallows catching shrimps.

61. A Sea View during a calm, but with a gentle ripple
on the surface of the water. The scene is distinguished by a
Danish frigate, represented in a fore-shortened position in the
centre, and from which a gun is being discharged, and the
smoke from it partly conceals a small boat with sailors in it:
beyond the former object are perceived the sails of another
vessel. At some distance off, on the left of the picture, is a
ship of war with her sails unfurled, and many other craft are
descried along the horizon. A small sishing smack is also
on the right. This is a pleasing specimen in the best period
of the artist.
