(Study of a Large Sailboat with Reflection)
1895–1899

A pen and ink drawing of a sailboat with its sails fully raised, depicted from a low angle as if viewed from the water. Two small figures can be seen standing on the boat, with one at the helm and the other near the mast. The water is represented by horizontal lines, and there's a hint of a reflection of the boat's hull. The sky is suggested with minimal lines, and there's a small bird flying near the water's surface to the right.
