Study 1845

"Study" is a pencil drawing on paper by Charles Meryon, created in 1845. It depicts a coastal scene with a ship anchored in the distance, a small island in the foreground, and several figures in the water. The artist's meticulous detail and use of light and shadow create a sense of atmosphere and depth in the composition. This drawing is a study in the artist's signature style, utilizing the medium to create an evocative landscape, and is a testament to Meryon's early career as a draftsman.
