This painting shows a busy waterfront with several wooden boats tied to the dock. A few people in dark clothes are working near the boats, and a building with large windows sits in the background. The sky is partly cloudy, and the water has small waves. The brushstrokes are thick and loose, giving the scene a rough, lively feel. The colors are mostly muted, but the boats stand out with their warm browns and dark outlines. Try looking up impasto to see how this painting’s texture compares to other works.
