Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sepia-toned drawing of a wooden structure near a body of water. A large, rectangular, wooden object dominates the left side. The object has a flat top with a short pole protruding upwards. The object appears to be floating on the water. In the foreground, a pile of wooden planks and a tree with bare branches are on the shore. A small pile of hay or straw is also on the shore. The background features trees and a cloudy sky. The drawing style is simple, with minimal shading and texture. The overall atmosphere suggests a rural or natural setting. The image is framed by a thin black line, and there are two small red stamps in the bottom-right corner.
