Port is a 1933 unspecified by Jean Alexandru Steriadi, depicting boat, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a waterfront scene with a row of low, warm-colored buildings. A tall tower with a dome rises behind them, and the rooftops glow orange in the light. In the foreground, a few small boats float in the dark water, and a crowd of people stands near the shore under leafy trees. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a lively, sketchy feel. The colors feel warm and bright, even though the painting is a bit faded. If you like this style, look up impasto to see how artists build up thick paint for texture.
