This is an illustration with a rough, sketchy style, featuring a central image of a ship on water. There's smoke or steam rising from the ship in squiggly lines, and the ship itself appears to be partially submerged with red and orange tones near the waterline that could be indicative of fire or rust. In the water, there is a figure that could represent a person swimming or in distress. At the top of the illustration, handwritten text reads "Name: H.C. Westermann Date & Place of Birth: Dec 11, 1922 - L.A." Below the ship illustration, more handwritten text states, "d my best to The Fine Doctor." Near the bottom right, there is a circular symbol that includes an anchor, which may suggest a nautical theme or maritime connection. The drawing has a spontaneous, expressive feel, possibly created with watercolors or markers, and appears to be on a card or a page. The composition is dynamic, with cartoon-like elements, and the use of text suggests a personal or whimsical touch to the artwork.
