This sketch shows an old wooden boat on the water, tilted to one side. The hull is weathered, and ropes hang loose. A basket dangles from a crane arm, and the boat’s sides look worn, with patches and planks barely holding together. The artist used quick, loose strokes to show the boat’s rough texture. The water around it is calm, with just a hint of movement. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
