These fine and nimbly rendered sketches record five vessels navigating the waters around Dieppe Harbour. In unison, the boats slant slightly to the right in the marine breeze. Their lofty masts teeter gently and their sails billow softly in the wind. For other views of Dieppe in this sketchbook see Tate D19959, D19966, D19968–D19996, D19998–D20006, D20008–D20014, D20031–D20033; Turner Bequest CCXVI 205, 209a, 211–227, 228–232, 233–236, 244a–245a.
