This is an illustration of people in a boat. The drawing shows several figures in a long, narrow boat with two individuals standing and using poles to move the boat through the water, while others are sitting. The boat appears to be carrying nets or fishing gear. In the background, there are softly drawn lines depicting a landscape with distant trees or hills and lightly etched structures that could be houses, indicating a coastal or riverine setting. The composition uses line work and shading to convey movement and the physical effort of rowing.
