About this work

The painting shows ships at a harbor in Deauville. It's a calm scene with light tones. The artist used simple brushstrokes to create this mood. The brushstrokes are sketchy, but they work. The light tones around the ships' masts are nice. This helps create a sense of calm. The painting is nice to look at. Check out the technique of chiaroscuro.
