This sketch shows a chaotic ship scene with tangled ropes and people scrambling. One man clings to the mast while others below struggle in the water. The lines crisscross wildly, and the ship’s sails are half-hoisted, adding to the sense of panic. The title *Man Overboard* hints at the drama unfolding. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and tension, almost like a frantic note-taking of the moment. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this drawing in person.
