Boat Dry Docked c. 1903

"Boat Dry Docked" is an etching by American artist Abraham Walkowitz, created in 1903. The artwork, a classic example of early 20th-century etching, depicts a boat resting on wooden supports, likely in a shipyard or on a waterfront. The composition is spare, focusing on the boat's form and its relationship to the surrounding structures. The artist uses fine lines and subtle shading to create a sense of depth and texture. Walkowitz's etching exemplifies his interest in the everyday scenes of urban life and his ability to capture the essence of a subject through a minimalist aesthetic.
