This sketch shows a simple, rough drawing of a sailing ship on calm water. The lines are light and loose, like a quick note more than a finished picture. The ship has three masts, full sails, and a low hull cutting through the waves. The artist used soft strokes, almost like a pencil sketch with watercolor. The waves are barely there—just a hint of movement under the ship. If you like this style, check out Romanticism.
