This striking mixed media work on paper originates from the Contemporary Cuban School, a movement deeply invested in the symbolism of the sea and the vessel. The drawing features a central rowboat rendered in expressive, gestural lines of charcoal and graphite, creating a sense of movement across a turbulent surface. The bow of the boat is highlighted with the vibrant red, white, and blue of the Cuban flag, a powerful emblem of national identity and the lived experience of the island's inhabitants. This iconography—the "balsero" or boatman theme—is a cornerstone of modern Cuban visual culture, representing themes of isolation, hope, and the liquid borders of the nation. The work is signed by the artist in the lower right corner and is housed in a modern dark frame with a white gallery-style mat.
