This drawing depicts a large steamship with a prominent smokestack emitting a plume of smoke. The ship features a large paddlewheel at its center, surrounded by a deck with several people standing on it. A flag flies from a mast on the left side of the ship, and the name "Furst Menschikoff" is written on the side of the paddlewheel. The ship is set against a calm sea, with gentle waves visible in the foreground. The overall atmosphere of the drawing is one of serenity, with the ship gliding smoothly through the water. The attention to detail in this drawing suggests a high level of skill on the part of the artist, Wright, Magnus von.
