A horizontally oriented lithograph in sketchy black ink depicts figures in light skin tones. In the center, several people crowd a small boat while two swimmers churn the foreground. To the left, another boat sits near a distant shoreline suggested by gestural lines and rectangular shapes. A large, translucent pinkish-red stain bleeds down the right side. Fine, expressive strokes define the figures, contrasting with the wide, empty space of the paper.
