About this work

This sketch shows three tall, narrow shapes that look like boats or ships. The lines inside them are straight and evenly spaced, almost like steps or rungs. The middle drawing has a little shadow under it, and the right one has a dark spot near the top. The artist used thin, precise lines to build up the forms, focusing on how light and shadow play on the surfaces. The drawings feel like quick ideas rather than finished work. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more sketches like this.
