(Study of a Sailboat at Sea)
1892–1895

Pencil sketch of a two-masted sailing ship with large sails unfurled, gliding over wavy seas. A few figures are visible on the ship, and there are birds flying in the sky above. The drawing is detailed, showing the texture of the sails and the movement of the water, and it is done on lined paper with the artist's signature in the bottom right corner.
