A fisherman kneels among dark shoreline rocks and lowers a small paper boat into the shallows. Behind him, a thin column of smoke rises from a distant fire beneath immense, swirling storm clouds. The warm glint on the boat and ripples gathers the eye against the muted greys and browns. The companion sketch preserves the searching construction lines around the fisherman, water and smoke, showing the scene before its painterly finish.
