Boats in a Harbour is a 1873 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
The painting depicts a serene harbour scene, with several boats moored in the water. The boats are rendered in various shades of white and gray, with subtle hints of blue and brown. In the foreground, the water's surface reflects the boats and the sky above, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. A group of people are gathered on the dock, adding a touch of human activity to the otherwise peaceful scene. The overall atmosphere is one of calmness and serenity, inviting the viewer to step into the tranquil world of the harbour.

Oscar-Claude Monet was born in Paris on November 14, 1840, and raised from the age of five in Le Havre, where he began selling charcoal caricatures as a teenager.
