Artist, American, 1914 - 1999

The image features a small sailboat moored beside a weathered wooden dock. The boat is positioned diagonally, leading the eyes toward the left edge. The horizon line is not distinctly visible, but dark, cloud-like shapes in the distance suggest a waterway or shoreline. The artwork has a loose sketch style with broad, fluid brushstrokes creating movement on the water's surface and distant elements. The artwork uses a monochromatic color palette with varying shades of black and gray ink against the off-white paper to capture details and shadows.
