Boats at Anchor

Eugène Boudin

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white sketch of boats at anchor. A large ship with multiple masts is on the left side. The ship has a tall mast with several horizontal lines representing rigging. Its hull is dark. The water is dark with lighter areas reflecting the sky. There are several smaller boats to the right and in the background. Some have their sails up. The right side of the image shows a dock or pier. The background is a light gray sky. The overall style is impressionistic with loose lines and shading. The image is in a rectangular frame with a rough texture.
