About this work

This sketch shows a quiet harbor scene with several tall ships docked at a wooden pier. The boats have multiple masts and flags fluttering in the breeze. In the background, a few windmills dot the flat landscape under a pale sky. The artist used soft, light strokes to keep the scene airy and loose. The water looks calm, almost like a mirror, and the buildings on the left are simple and uncluttered. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
