The Harbor of Seville is a 1867 gouache by Samuel Colman, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a harbor at sunset. Tall ships with red sails line the docks, and a small boat with two people rows in the foreground. In the background, a large brick tower stands near the water, with trees and buildings fading into the warm, hazy sky. The soft colors and light strokes suggest the artist focused on capturing how light plays on water and buildings. This style was common in 19th-century landscape painting.

Samuel Colman (March 4, 1832 – March 26, 1920) was an American painter, interior designer, and writer, probably best remembered for his paintings of the Hudson River.
