Boats at Peel—Isle of Man is a 1889 ink by Julian Alden Weir, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two old wooden ships with tall masts and lots of ropes. The water around them is choppy, drawn with quick, wavy lines. The sky above looks stormy, with dark, smudgy marks. The artist used a sharp tool to scratch into the paper, creating dark lines that look almost like a sketch. This method is called etching. Next, look up etching to see how artists make prints this way.
