The Pier is a 1909 by Ernest Stephen Lumsden, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet beach scene with a lone figure sitting on the sand near the water’s edge. In the distance, a pier stretches out into a calm body of water, with a few small boats floating nearby. On the far shore, a row of buildings and trees lines the horizon, giving a sense of depth. The artist used light, loose lines to suggest movement and space, almost like a quick sketch. The focus is on the simple, everyday moment rather than detailed realism.
