(Coast Guard Station)
1927

A watercolor painting depicting a coastal scene with a white lighthouse and adjacent buildings. The lighthouse has a black roof and a red chimney, while the smaller buildings have gray shingled roofs. In the foreground, there's a white building with blue-trimmed doors and windows. The landscape includes rocky outcrops and sparse greenery, with the ocean visible in the background under a pale sky. The artist's signature is in the lower left corner.
