About this work

This sketch shows a harbor packed with tall ships. The water is busy with waves, and the boats have thick ropes and tall masts. On the right, a building with a tower sits near the docks. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement in the water and sails. The drawing feels loose but full of detail. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
