National Gallery of Art

The image shows a perspective from a ship's deck looking out towards the ocean. The horizon is high in the top of the image with the sky meeting the water. There are faint outlines of ship rigging and masts. The drawing uses soft pencil strokes, creating a blurred and textured appearance. It is rendered in monochrome with shades of grey and black. Closest to the viewer, the ship's railing and deck elements are visible, including a lifebuoy. In the distance, figures interact with the ship's navigational instruments. The text "L'OEUVRE" and "Paris, 23 rue Turgot" are included in the image.
