Harbor Scene n.d.

"Harbor Scene" is a pen and ink drawing by English artist William Roxby Beverley, who was active in the 19th century. The drawing depicts a harbor scene with boats, a dock, and several figures. The artist's signature can be seen on the boat in the left foreground, indicating a personal connection to the subject matter. The drawing, part of the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, showcases the artist's skilled use of line and detail to create a realistic and intimate view of everyday life in a harbor setting. The artwork's small size, 114 x 177 mm, suggests it may have been a preliminary sketch or study.
