This drawing shows a strange, tilted scene where a dim, cluttered building sits next to a waterfront. A small window glows with warm yellow light, while a door stands open. Outside, a ship steams across the water, its smoke curling into the sky. Two rats scurry near the building, and a rope lies tangled on the dock. The artist used uneven lines and odd angles to make the world feel off-kilter. The bright light from the window clashes with the gloomy sky, creating a weird mix of warmth and unease.
