A wrecked boat lies on its side by the still water of a cove at Eastern Point, Gloucester, with the low rock of Brace's Rock glowing in the late light. Lane painted the scene several times near the end of his life; the stillness and clear light are the essence of the style later called Luminism. It is in the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
This full-bleed edition prints the work edge to edge from a high-resolution scan of the original, very slightly cropped (a few percent at most) to fit the sheet. The gallery edition shows the whole work, uncropped. The original is in the public domain.
