This earth‑toned watercolor depicts one of the many barges he observed between 1924 and 1933, when he lived on Long Island, often on a houseboat. Executed quickly with thin, layered brushstrokes over skeletal chalk lines, it served as a preliminary sketch for the oil painting<em> Red Barge</em>. Both works were exhibited together in 1932 at Alfred Stieglitz’s gallery An American Place, where the gallerist featured watercolors in this distinctive American style.
