About this work

This painting shows a seaside town with a harbour. There are many buildings, some of which are tall and have steep roofs. In the foreground, people are sitting on a hill, looking out at the water. The water is calm, reflecting the buildings and sky. There are several boats in the harbour, and a few people are standing on the shore. The sky is light blue with some white clouds. This painting reminds me of Romanticism.
