Sand Boat 1930

"Sand Boat" is a lithograph by American artist William Judson Dickerson, created in 1930. The artwork depicts a simple, wooden boat on a river, with a plume of smoke rising from its chimney. Dickerson's use of graphite and a limited color palette captures the mood of the scene, suggesting a quiet, almost desolate atmosphere. The artist's keen attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the boat's structure, the river's currents, and the surrounding landscape. This piece, part of Dickerson's body of work focused on American landscapes and the everyday life of the working class, exemplifies his realist style and his ability to find beauty in the ordinary.
