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

Henry Ward Ranger

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pencil sketch on paper of a seascape. A square, slightly irregular rectangle frames the sketch. The scene features a body of water with three boats. Two boats are on the left and one on the right. The boats have dark hulls and appear to have one or more sails. The water appears calm with subtle wave lines. The background shows a horizon line with hazy, lighter areas suggesting clouds or fog. The paper has a plain white background around the sketch.
