The Salute; Morning; blue and rose

Description

Way's image shows that this was a drawing in vertical format, with the diagonal line of a quayside running from the lower right corner to above half-way up the right side. The bay is at left, with, at upper right, the white sails of two small sailing boats. In the distance, there is a row of buildings with the dome of a church in the centre. 1
