(Study of a Large Sailing Ship at Sea)
1892–1895

A pencil sketch of a sailing ship with three masts and multiple sails on aged paper. The ship is adorned with flags, and there are several birds in flight in the background. The edges of the paper are slightly frayed, adding to the vintage look of the drawing.
