About this work

This drawing shows a serene seascape with a shore on the left. The artist has used a range of grays to depict the waves and the sky. A quiet detail is the way the artist has suggested the movement of the waves with gentle, curved lines. The drawing has a peaceful, contemplative feel to it.
