Drifting is a 1887 ink by Reginald Cleveland Coxe, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows old sailing ships on calm water. The boats have tall masts and lots of ropes. The waves are smooth, and the sky is barely there—just a faint line. Everything looks quiet, like the ships are barely moving. The artist used a sharp tool to scratch into the paper. This made the lines look soft and a little fuzzy. It’s not a painting—it’s a print.
