About this work

This sketch shows a busy harbor with tall ships anchored near a city skyline. In the foreground, two people swim in the water while others row small boats. The buildings in the background have domes and spires, and the sky is filled with quick, sketchy clouds. The artist signed it "Syngouris Haden, 1879," which might be a stylized name. The loose, sketchy lines suggest it was made fast—maybe while watching the scene unfold. Check out Francis Seymour Haden to see how his style connects to both Impressionism and Realism.
