Port Scene is a 1871 unspecified by Eugène Boudin, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
This painting shows a port scene with several boats on the water. The boats are in the center and right side of the image, with one boat in the distance on the left. The water is calm and reflects the boats. In the background, there are buildings along the shore, but they are not clearly visible. The painting is done in a style that emphasizes the play of light on the water and the boats. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the image a sense of movement and energy.
