About this work

This sketch shows three small boats near a beach. The waves are drawn with quick, wavy lines, and the boats have tall masts with ropes crisscrossing. The paper has a slightly yellowish tint, and the artist signed the bottom right corner. The boats look like they’re made of wood, with a few figures inside. The artist focused on the movement of the water and the shapes of the sails. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch in person.
