The Beacon

About this work

This print shows three sailboats on calm water, their sails angled sharply. A lone tree stands on the shore, its roots tangled in the sand. The whole scene is drawn in bold, wavy lines—no color, just black and white. The artist signed it "Arthur Briscoe" in the corner, and the title *The Beacon* hints at a lighthouse or guiding light (though you can’t see one here). The rough, sketchy style makes the water look almost alive. If you like this kind of loose, textured drawing, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art—they hold this print.
