The image depicts a pencil sketch on aged paper. Two men are rowing a boat on water. The men wear head coverings. The boat is long and narrow, with oars on both sides. The men hold one oar each. The water reflects the boat and men. A ship with a large triangular sail is in the background on the right. The ship appears stationary. In the background on the left, another rowing boat with people is seen. The paper is yellowish with age, dark spots and discoloration. The overall composition displays an original study for a painting. The image relates to "The Biglin Brothers Turning the Stake" by Thomas Eakins.
