At Sea is a 1901 ink by James McNeill Whistler, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a sketch of a scene at sea. It features a group of people on a boat, with some standing and others sitting. The artist has used brown ink to create the drawing, which is quite detailed. One interesting aspect of this sketch is the way the artist has used different lines and shading to create texture and depth. The boat and the people on it are rendered in a loose, expressive style, while the sea and sky are suggested by softer, more delicate lines. If you're interested in learning more about this artist's work, you might want to look up Whistler, James McNeill.
