(Study of a Rowboat at Sea with Large Ship in Background)
c. 1900–1910

A sketch on paper depicting a person in a hooded cloak rowing a small boat with several other figures huddled inside. The strokes are expressive and quick, suggesting movement on wavy water, with a few clouds sketched in the background. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom right corner.
