(Study of a Sailboat at Sea)
1892–1895

Pencil sketch on tan paper depicting a sailboat with a single sail, a flag at the top of the mast, and a person sitting at the stern. The boat is on wavy water, suggesting movement. The drawing style is simple and appears to be hand-drawn with attention to the details of the boat's rigging and the waves.
