About this work

This sketch shows two old sailing ships in a harbor. The water is calm, and the boats have tall masts with lots of ropes and sails. The drawing is mostly in black and white, with some light shading to show depth. The ships look like they’re from a long time ago, with simple designs and no fancy details. The artist focused on the shapes and movement of the boats rather than colors. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
