A Snapshot
c.1898

Pencil sketch of two people sitting closely together on a beach, looking out at the sea with waves gently lapping the shore. The sky is depicted with horizontal shading, and there's a faint outline of the sun or moon above the horizon. In the foreground, two hats are placed on the sand next to the couple, and the word "A SNAPSHOT" is written at the bottom right corner of the drawing.
