The Gravelines Channel, towards the sea is a 1896 oil by Georges Seurat, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Kröller-Müller Museum.
You're looking at a painting of a harbor, with boats on the water and a lighthouse in the background. The scene is depicted in a pointillist style, with tiny dots of color creating the image. The colors are muted, with shades of blue and green dominating the palette. In the foreground, there's a grassy bank with a few sticks lying on it. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity, with the boats and lighthouse creating a sense of depth and perspective.
