The Third Boat
1895–1899

A vintage pencil sketch on aged paper depicting a chaotic scene on a ship's deck during an emergency. People are seen boarding a lifeboat in the background, while in the foreground, officers and crew members direct the evacuation. The drawing is detailed, capturing the urgency and movement of the figures, with the title "THE THIRD BOAT" inscribed at the bottom. The paper's edges are tattered, adding to the historical feel of the artwork.
