Charcoal sketch on paper of the shipyard at Nantes, France. Depicted at center left is a large ship painted with black and white dazzle camouflage. Behind that are several more ships in the distance, including others with various patterns of dazzle camouflage. In the foreground are several towers along the docks, with small buildings, cranes, and people walking around the shipyard. The water of the harbor disappears into the distance at right.
