About this work

This sketch shows two boats docked near a waterfront. One boat flies a French flag, and the other has a tall mast with ropes. In the background, there’s a small building with a green roof and a church steeple. The water is calm, with loose brushstrokes suggesting gentle waves. The boats look simple but full of life, with quick, sketchy lines. The colors are soft—blues, greens, and browns—giving a peaceful vibe. Next, check out Paul Signac to see more of his loose, colorful style.
