Description de l’image
The image is a pencil sketch of a maritime scene with ships on the sea under a dramatic cloudy sky. The composition includes large ships near the horizon line and a smaller boat with figures closer to the viewer. The sky is filled with expressive pencil strokes representing clouds, with sunlight breaking through. The sketch uses a monochrome palette of graphite shades to create contrast.
