The Life Line by Winslow Homer: A black and white drawing of two men on a rope in the ocean. The man in front is lying on his back with his head tilted back and mouth open, wearing a life jacket. The man behind him is sitting and holding onto the rope, wearing a dark jacket and pants with boots. The man in front has his arms at his sides with his hands clenched into fists. The background shows large waves and a dark cloudy sky. The drawing is done in a detailed, realistic style with many lines. The image is rectangular with a light-colored border around it. The scene depicts a dramatic and intense moment.
