A charcoal and graphite study of an old canal barge settled in a lock, rendered in rich tonal shading that moves from deep blacks to silvery greys. Essentially monochrome with a subtle warmth, the square composition sets the barge on a diagonal from lower left to upper right, giving quiet motion to still water and weathered steel.
