Lobster Pot is a 1850 by Edward William Cooke, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a lobster pot sitting on a flat surface. The pot has a tall, rounded top with slats and a handle on the side. Around it are quick, loose drawings of other pots and a lobster. The lines are light and sketchy, almost like notes. The artist focused on the pot’s shape and texture, using quick strokes to show the slats. The lobster is drawn smaller, tucked near the pot like it’s part of the scene. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
