Label TextShortly after this print was made, the art critic Sylvester Koehler enthused about Moran's recent sea scenes: "As we look at it we seem to enjoy again the mornings spent on the sea-shore, the exhilerating freshness and freedom of which still linger in our memory, and the vast expanse which spreads away into the distance before us gives to these few inches of paper the semblance of infinity."
