This sketch shows a quiet harbor scene with two tall ships tied up at docks. The water is choppy, and ropes stretch between the boats and wooden posts. In the background, a building with a sign reading "Loft" sits near the water’s edge, and a lone streetlamp stands on the dock. The artist focused on the play of light and shadow, especially on the waves and rigging. The lines are loose but precise, capturing movement in the water and wind.
