A large white field features a central, torn scrap of lined paper containing a graphite drawing of a three-masted ship. The vessel points left, rendered with dark hull lines and masts above minimal waves. Above the drawing, hand-printed uppercase letters read "BY DALE KISTEMAKER". The composition emphasizes the stark contrast between the rough, miniature drawing and the vast negative space surrounding it.
