About this work

This painting shows a seaside scene with a dock and boats. In the foreground, a dock with a railing stretches across the bottom of the image. On the left, several boats are moored, with masts and sails visible. The sky above is a light blue, with a few wispy clouds. The painting features a range of colors, from the warm tones of the dock and boats to the cool blues of the sky and water. The brushstrokes are small and precise, giving the image a sense of detail and texture. The painting is held at the Kröller-Müller Museum.
