Sails and a Vista is a 1934 by Orville Houghton Peets, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a busy harbor full of ships with tangled ropes and sails. In the background, buildings line the shore, and a few people work near the water. The lines of the ropes and masts crisscross sharply, making the scene look dynamic. The artist used strong contrasts between light and dark to create depth. This makes the ropes and sails stand out against the lighter sky and buildings. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more prints like this.
