A pencil drawing of a man and a woman sitting in a boat on a body of water. The woman sits at one end of the boat wearing a hat. The man lies down at the other end of the boat, with one arm raised behind his head. Both figures are drawn simply with minimal detail. There are scribbled lines around them suggesting foliage. The background shows more scribbled lines suggesting trees and water. The boat is centered horizontally. The drawing style is loose and sketchy. The title of the work is "Ned Samson and His Wife" and the artist is Homer Dodge Martin.
