A vertically oriented watercolor and graphite drawing in sketchy blues, purples, and grays depicts a sailing boat in a harbor. Centered, the boat's dark hull and masts tilt sharply left, topped by a small tricolor flag. Squiggly pencil lines define swirling clouds above and rippling water below. Front left, blocky buildings stand in shadow, while a stone pier with a small statue anchors the right against a pale, washed-out sky.
