This is a drawing of a scene on the water featuring several boats. The drawing depicts a group of individuals in a rowboat prominently in the foreground, with one figure seated and wearing a cap, smoking a pipe. Another figure stands, appearing to shout or call out to others. In the background, there is another boat with more figures, as well as a shoreline with distant buildings. The drawing is done in black and white, emphasizing shading and line work to convey the textures of the water and the clothing of the individuals. The overall composition captures the activity and camaraderie of the scene.
