This print shows a big wooden ship with three tall masts, anchored near a rocky shore. The water is a soft blue, with waves lapping at the land. In the background, a mountain rises, and the sky glows pink near the horizon. A smaller boat floats close to the big ship, and red flags wave from its rigging. The artist used bold colors and clean lines to show both the ship and the landscape. The print’s bright red and green accents stand out against the calm blues and grays. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build shadows with lines.
