Dock Study (from Sketchbook)

Henry Ward Ranger

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch on white paper, depicting a dock or pier structure. The sketch is drawn with pencil or charcoal. A series of vertical posts, some straight, some at an angle, are shown along the waterline. Horizontal lines connect some of the posts. The water appears calm with some shading to indicate depth. Reflections of the dock structure are visible in the water. The sketch style is loose and impressionistic.
