About this work

This sketch shows three boats on calm water near a distant, hazy shoreline with low hills. The boats are simple, with tall masts and people inside—some standing, some sitting. The drawing is faint, mostly in pencil, with light shading to show depth. The artist signed it in the corner and labeled the scene “Rajmal Hills.” The boats look like they’re made of wood and cloth, maybe for fishing or travel. Want to know more?
