The image shows a pencil sketch of two rowboats. The sketch is on a rectangular piece of paper with rounded corners. Two rowboats are drawn in the lower part of the paper. The boat on the right faces right and is drawn with more detail than the boat on the left, which faces left. A line drawing of hills or mountains is on the left side of the paper. The background of the image is white with a wavy line design at the top and bottom. The sketch appears to be by Albert Bierstadt, as indicated by the title "Outline Sketches of Two Rowboats (from Sketchbook) by Albert Bierstadt".
