The image titled "On Deck" by Muirhead Bone features a charcoal sketch on paper. The scene depicts two people in sailors' caps on the right side of the image. The person on the left appears to be leaning forward, their head obscured by their cap. The person on the right is partially drawn with minimal details. A tall ladder with seven horizontal rungs is on the left side. The background shows a wall or partition with a line drawing of horizontal and vertical lines resembling the mast of a ship. The overall composition is drawn with expressive lines and minimal shading. The artwork captures a moment on a ship's deck with a focus on gesture and structure.
