About this work

This sketch shows a rocky island with a small tower on top. Around it, a few boats float on calm water, and people stand or sit near the shore. The lines are simple and dark, with some faint shading to show light and shadow. The artist signed it "John Sloan" in the corner. The note below says it’s a copy of a drawing made in 1888, but the style looks rough and quick. Next, check out etching to see how artists like Sloan made prints with acid and needles.
