About this work

This drawing shows a tall clock tower next to a waterfront. Ships are tied up at docks on the left. Buildings line the right side, with people walking near the water. The sky is light with wavy lines. The clock tower has a pointy top and a big clock face. The water looks calm, and the artist used simple lines to show light and shadow.
