This painting shows a seaside view with a small sailboat in the water. The boat is dark and has a white sail. In the background, there's a city with many buildings, some of which are quite tall. The painting is done in oil paint and has a lot of colors, especially blues and greens for the water and sky. The artist used brushstrokes to show the movement of the water and the wind in the sail. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out other works by the artist, Eugène-Emmanuel Lemercier.
