The Harbour at Palermo

About this work

This painting shows a harbour scene with a large mountain in the background. There are many boats in the water, and some people are standing on the shore. The sky is light and cloudy. In the foreground, there's a small building on the shore, and some people are gathered around it. The artist has used a range of colours to depict the scene, from the dark blues of the water to the light greys of the sky.
