A bold graphic screenprint in the Australian maritime/coastal style, depicting a row of approximately eight colourful mooring buoys (in green and cream, blue and white, striped combinations) rendered in flat clean colour fields against a vivid cobalt blue background, with a pink horizon band and thin lines connecting buoys to circular weights below. The flat, unmodulated colour and crisp graphic design are characteristic of quality 1980s Australian screenprint production. Pencil-inscribed lower left: "54/250"; lower centre: "MOORING"; lower right: "Beckmann '84". The Bellingen Gallery and Framing Studio label on verso confirms New South Wales provenance.
