Español: Barco atrapado en el hielo

Un boceto suelto y lavado en tonos lavanda pálidos, crema y ocre muestra una forma vertical alta, parecida a un mástil, y una curva semejante a una vela entre formas pálidas y fantasmales. Tonos ocres oscuros enmarcan el grupo central, y una firma aparece en la esquina inferior derecha.
