A precisely painted panoramic view of the Channel Islands, from Sark, looking across a calm sea towards Guernsey, Herm and Jethou. A sailing vessel, on the left, sails close to a current which has been produced as the ebbing tide pours through a narrow channel between rocks, in the middleground, centre. More vessels can be seen in the distance, on the right, with white sails. Low pink clouds can be seen on the horizon against a bright blue sky.
