The Race
c. 1893

A vintage watercolor painting depicting a side view of a steamboat with a red hull and two yellow smokestacks on a body of water. There are several figures on the boat, possibly crew members, rendered in a simplistic style. The background features a faint coastline, and the artwork is set against a brownish paper with the word "THE RACE" inscribed at the bottom.
