This sketch shows a lone figure lying face-down on a beach at dusk. The person’s arms stretch out in front of them, toes pointing toward the water. In the background, the ocean is calm, with a few distant ships and a darkening sky. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to suggest both the body and the waves. The focus is on the quiet moment, not detail. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
