About this work

This watercolor shows a busy harbor scene with lots of boats on calm water. In the distance, a city sits on a hill with domes and towers. Small birds float near the surface, and a few sailboats glide across the waves. The artist used soft, light strokes to show the water’s gentle movement. The colors are muted, keeping the scene peaceful and airy. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
