About this work

This painting shows a quiet harbor with three boats tied up at docks. The water is calm, and the sky is soft and pale. The boats have simple shapes—one is dark and narrow, another is light with a tall mast, and the third is barely visible in the distance. The artist uses loose brushstrokes, especially on the water and hills in the background. The colors are muted, with blues and greens blending together. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
