The Calm

About this work

This print shows a quiet harbor scene with three ships at anchor. The water is full of wavy lines, almost like a storm is just passing. The ships have tall masts and look still, with only a few small details like rigging and sails. The title *The Calm* suggests this is a moment of stillness after movement. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to capture the water’s restless energy. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this print in person.
