(Study of Two Ships in Battle, One Sinking)
1892–1895

Sketch of two ships on a piece of aged paper, with the larger ship in the foreground appearing to be a warship with visible cannons, and the smaller one in the background resembling a sailboat or a fishing vessel. The drawing is detailed, showing waves around the ships, suggesting movement through water.
