This painting shows a harbor scene with three boats. One large ship sits in the background, its masts and smokestack barely visible. In the middle, a smaller boat with a single mast floats near the shore. The water is calm, and the colors are mostly muted—greens, browns, and grays—with a few bright spots on the boats. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the painting a textured look. The artist didn’t smooth out the details, which makes the scene feel quick and alive.
