(Two Studies of Sailboats, One with Passengers
1895–1899

A vintage sketch of two sailboats on aged paper, with one boat tilting dramatically as if caught in strong wind and the other sailing upright, both depicted with simple, elegant lines. The paper shows signs of wear with a torn upper edge and a few stains.
