Engine Trouble

Charles H. Woodbury

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a body of water with two boats. One boat is a small canoe-like vessel with a single figure rowing, while a larger boat is positioned higher in the composition. The horizon is not clearly defined. The boats and figures are drawn with expressive strokes, likely using charcoal or pencil, creating a dynamic feel. The color palette is minimal, using shades of grey and black on a beige paper.
