(Study of a Ship at Sea)
1899–1906

A watercolor painting depicting a river scene with boats. In the foreground, there are sketches of rocks and the riverbank. The middle ground shows a steamboat with a prominent smokestack and several masts, alongside smaller boats. The background is a wash of gray, suggesting a cloudy sky. The painting has an unfinished look, with parts of the paper left blank and pencil lines visible.
