Vertically oriented graphite on off-white paper features a minimalist sailboat sketch centered within significant empty space. Two tall, thin vertical masts rise from a rounded hull defined by light, gestural strokes. A diagonal structure with horizontal markings rests against the masts. Sparse, loose lines suggest the vessel's structure and surrounding water at the base. The composition emphasizes delicate, linear elements, creating a sense of rapid, unfinished motion.
