Clarkson Stanfield's "Entretat" depicts a group of sailors pulling a small boat ashore in the rough seas. The artist, known for his maritime scenes, uses pen and ink on blue paper to create a realistic depiction of the scene. The rough waves and the strained expressions of the sailors add drama and realism to the composition. "Entretat" is a well-known example of Stanfield's work and is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
