1918
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
On the Clyde, 1917-1918: The Tuscania at Glasgow is a 1918 by Muirhead Bone, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two ships docked side by side in a harbor. One is a big, boxy steamship with tall smokestacks and rows of windows. The other is a smaller sailing ship with masts and ropes. The water is choppy, and the whole scene is drawn in quick, sketchy lines. The steamship looks like it’s ready for a long trip, with its sturdy build and smokestacks. The artist focused on the ships’ details, like the rigging on the sailboat and the ship’s lifeboats. Check out the artist’s other work at Muirhead Bone (British, 1876–1953).
Sir Muirhead Bone (23 March 1876 – 21 October 1953) was a Scottish etcher and watercolourist who became known for his depiction of industrial and architectural subjects and his work as a war artist in both the First and Second World Wars.
