Edward Hopper

(Study of a Sailboat in Dry-dock)
c. 1900

A watercolor painting on aged paper depicting a sailboat with its sails down, moored next to a dark rocky outcrop. The artwork is rendered with loose brushstrokes, primarily in black and white, with the paper's tan hue serving as the mid-tone. The image shows signs of wear and tear, with creases and rust-colored stains along the edges.
