Little Calais Pier, 1865, 3 A.M. is a 1865 by Francis Seymour Haden, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows a cityscape at night, with a pier stretching into the water. The city's skyline is visible in the distance, with several buildings and towers. The sky is dark, with a few clouds scattered across it. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and contrast, with the dark shadows of the pier and cityscape set against the lighter tones of the sky. The overall effect is one of quiet and stillness, capturing a moment in time.
