Answer 1

Based on your description of the artwork—a depiction of a small raft filled with exhausted people clamoring for attention from a ship—it sounds like this piece is likely a painting, given its illustrative qualities and the dramatic scene described.

Therefore, I would place this artwork in the painting area of the gallery.
