Veleiro de três mastros (atribuído)

Executed entirely in graphite, the piece relies on fine linear work to model form and texture. Varied pressure creates a range of tones from deep charcoal to delicate gray, allowing the artist to suggest the sheen of water and the roughness of the hull. The precise rendering of ropes and rigging demonstrates a high level of draftsmanship.

Although the drawing is signed only as an attribution, stylistic analysis links it to the late‑19th‑century French marine illustrator O. Brieu. Since its creation, the work has remained in Brazil, entering the holdings of the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, where it is displayed as part of the museum’s nineteenth‑century European collection.
