(Sinking ship)
c. 1895

A vintage watercolor painting on brown paper depicting a side view of an old steamship with two red and black funnels, emitting dark smoke. The ship is at an angle suggesting movement through water, with faint outlines and splashes of red and yellow at the bottom, possibly indicating reflections or the presence of another object. The background is plain, emphasizing the ship as the focal point.
