This sketch shows a man standing in a small boat holding a fishing net. Behind him, a woman and child sit on the shore, with another woman bent over near the water. The lines are loose and quick, like a hurried drawing. The artist left out details like color, focusing on shapes and movement instead. This style was common in studies for larger works.
