Created by an English School artist in the 19th century and now part of a private collection, this artwork captures the ethereal beauty of twilight over the vast ocean. The scene depicted is set half an hour after sunset on March 1st, 1872. The viewer stands at latitude 40°29'N and longitude 10°0'W, gazing out into the horizon where land meets sea.
