The sun is setting amid clouds in its glory, and throws its yellow beams on a French bark, steering westward. In the foreground is a fisherboat reefed in and drawing the net; different vessels are on the water, whose beautiful true color, in contrast with the yellow clouds, produces a striking effect. [P. 7.]
