Moy, Ireland is a 1913 by Muirhead Bone, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy harbor scene in black and white. A large ship with tall masts is tied up at a wooden dock. People walk along the dock, some carrying bags or tools, while smaller boats float in the water nearby. The waves are drawn with quick, wavy lines, and the buildings in the background are simple and slightly blurred. The artist focused on the movement and energy of daily life at the harbor. Notice how the lines on the water and sails create a sense of motion, even though there’s no color. Want to see more works like this? Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art.
