This is a black and white drawing or sketch depicting what seems to be a dockside or harbor scene. There is an array of masts belonging to ships or boats visible on the left, suggesting the nearby presence of water. On the right, there are industrial or warehouse-style buildings, some featuring tall smokestacks that emphasize the industrial aspect of the location. The drawing style uses perspective to create depth, with buildings receding into the distance on the right and the harbor stretching out to the left.

In the foreground, we see a number of human figures. The figures are depicted with minimal detail but are recognizable by their outlines as men wearing suits and hats, typical attire that might place this scene in the early to mid-20th century. The figures are walking, possibly suggesting movement towards or away from the work at the docks.

There are handwritten notes or signatures on the image, one at the bottom left and another at the bottom centered—possibly the artist's signature and date. The paper also has holes punched at the top, indicating it might have been stored in a binder or a file.

At the bottom right, a serialized number or code "(A63.3.947)" is inscribed, which might be a catalog number or reference for the artwork. There's also text written at the top right which appears to be in German. The words seem to read "FERNDES U. NE." This might provide context, possibly relating to the artist's name, the title of the work, or an archive reference.

The overall impression is that of a quick study or a working sketch, capturing the essence and mood of the industrial dockside environment.

This is a black-and-white sketch titled "Emden", created in 1921 by the artist Lyonel Feininger. The scene depicts a somewhat desolate dockyard or harbor area, likely inspired by the port city of Emden in Germany. The composition includes several figures dispersed throughout the scene, with some close to the viewer and others in the background, contributing to a sense of depth.

The sketch uses strong, angular lines and shading to convey the forms of buildings, ships, and human figures. In the foreground, three figures can be seen walking away from the viewer, while another figure stands alone, looking out to the left. Midground structures seem to be warehouses or industrial buildings, characterized by their geometric shapes and sharp angles. Ships and cranes can be observed in the distance, likely docked along the harbor with masts reaching upwards.

The landscape extends to a body of water and what appear to be breakwaters or jetties. The overall mood conveyed is one of quiet, almost eerie solitude, further enhanced by the monochromatic palette and minimalist depiction of details.

The edges of the paper show several punched holes, suggesting that this sketch might have been part of a larger collection or a portfolio. The dates written on the drawing—"27.8.21"—indicate the date of creation. The artist's signature "Feininger" is also visible, attesting to its authenticity.
