This painting shows a quiet harbor tucked between steep cliffs. Small boats—some anchored, some moving—float on calm water. A few people sit in a rowboat near the shore, while larger ships dot the background. Buildings cling to the hillside, and a tall rock rises behind them. The artist used soft contrasts between light and shadow to give depth to the scene. Look up *chiaroscuro* next.
