Four Boats on Water (Long Island Sound?) (from Sketchbook)

Henry Ward Ranger

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pencil sketch on white paper of a seascape with four boats on water. The sketch is in a rectangular box with uneven sides. The sky above the horizon is filled with clouds. The boats are small and simple with minimal details. Two are clustered on the left with one larger than the other. A third boat is to the right of them and a fourth boat further to the right. The water has uneven lines indicating waves. The sketch is simple and appears to be a quick study.
