content: Verso: Seascape sketch showing a distant steamboat at sea near Corfu, Greece. The flat ocean surface extends from the foreground to the horizon, where the steamboat emits a dark, billowing plume of smoke that is carried to the left by the wind. Hasty strokes articulating the sky partially obscure a loose sketch of a sailboat at upper center.
