About this work

This sketch shows a row of boats docked at a harbor. The lines are loose and fast, with lots of shading made by crisscrossing marks. Some boats have masts, and one looks like it’s being loaded with something. The water is rough, with quick strokes showing movement. The artist used a technique where they packed in lots of tiny lines to create dark areas. It’s not polished—it feels like a quick study, maybe from life. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how it works.
