L'Estaque is a 1910 watercolor by Henry Rushbury, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet harbor town by the water. The buildings near the shore are simple, with a few people walking around. Farther out, ships float on calm blue water, and hills roll gently in the background under a pale sky. The artist used soft, light colors and kept the scene simple, almost like a sketch. The water and sky blend into one smooth area, making the whole view feel peaceful. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
