Shipwreck

Charles Cromwell Ingham

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pencil drawing of people on the shore, some standing and some sitting in a boat. A group of at least 10 people, including children, are gathered around a woman in a long dress. A man wearing a hat faces away from the viewer. A man on the right appears to be helping a woman into a boat. A man on the left sits in the boat holding an oar. The background is plain and featureless. The drawing style is simple and sketchy. Shipwreck by Charles Cromwell Ingham.
