About this work

This black-and-white drawing shows a woman sitting in a small boat on the water, holding an oar. Behind her, a girl in a striped dress stands on the shore, looking out toward the sea. The sky is cloudy, and a few ships are far away on the horizon. The woman’s boat is tied to a post, and the girl’s dress has a high collar and long sleeves. The artist focused on everyday life near the water. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this drawing in person.
