3. A Sea View under the appearance of a fresh breeze.
This very skilful picture may be recognized by a row-boat, on
the left, in which are two men and a woman: beyond this
object is a Dutch coaster approaching the front under main-
sail ; and still more remote are two other small traders. A
frigate rides at anchor in the distance. Dense masses of
rolling clouds cast a sombre hue over the troubled element.
