Study of Two Boats under Sail (from Sketchbook X)

William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a sketch on a rectangle piece of paper. The paper is mostly white with some darker smudges. Two boats are sketched, one on the left and one on the right. The boats both have masts with lines extending and large sail. The boat on the left is angled to the right and the boat on the right is angled to the left. The boats are similar but not identical. Black marks are visible on the left edge of the paper. The background beyond the paper is white.
