(Study of a Sailboat at Sea)
1895–1899

A sketch on tan paper depicting a person sailing a small boat with a single sail, leaning back against the wind, with waves indicated by simple lines. The drawing is dynamic, capturing the motion of sailing, and the paper's edges are visible, suggesting this is an artwork on paper.
