A sketch showing a calm sea from the 'Penaglis M. Hadoulis'. The viewpoint is quite low and invites the viewer to look over the expanse of sea towards land in the distance. The movement of the waves is indicated by a diagonal patterning to create a rhythm. Over the surface of the sea a reflection plays on the surface of the water as a bright light. The sky occupies one sixth of the picture space, with a bank of clouds on the horizon. The sea is shown as layers of greens and blues breaking into white foam on the crests. The relentlessness of the sea is shown through the repetitiveness of the waves. Everett sailed in the Greek-owned steamer, 'Penaglis M. Hadoulis', from Cardiff, Wales, to Montevideo, Uruguay, and back between December 1931 and March 1932. The painting is inscribed '9 M' bottom right, and 'PMH' verso.
