Here the crates and dockhands sit on a riverbank, with a steamboat drawn up beside them as it takes on cargo. Cuba's rivers are short and few, so river steamers were less common than the coastal ships that carried the island's sugar and tobacco to market, which makes this riverside scene worth a second look. Pencil sketches of working life like this one recorded labor that formal paintings and studio portraits often left out. The record does not name the artist or date, so the drawing itself is the best evidence of the scene.
