About this work

This painting shows a busy harbor scene with boats of different sizes. The water is a deep blue, and the boats have tall masts and white hulls. On the shore, there’s a small yellow-roofed building and some wooden structures. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the painting a textured look. The colors are bold but simple—mostly blues, yellows, and whites. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
