(Sketches of Six Compositions for Ship at Sea, Art Gallery, Ship Interiors, and Passengers Boarding Ship)
1896

A page from a sketchbook containing six different pencil sketches. The top left sketch shows a side view of a steamship on water. To its right, there's a sketch of two figures in a room with a window, one standing and the other sitting. Below these, on the left, is a detailed drawing of a bookshelf with various items on it, including books and a vase. Next to it, a sketch of a kitchen with a stove, sink, and cabinets. The bottom left sketch depicts a ladder leading down to a flooded room with a floating rat. On the bottom right, there's a perspective drawing of a long corridor with multiple doors on either side.
