About this work

This painting shows a rough, textured scene of a harbor. Two boats sit on the water, their red and dark hulls contrasting with the muddy brown waves. In the background, a few simple buildings and a tall, skinny tower line the shore, all painted in thick, uneven strokes. The brushwork looks messy on purpose—like the artist didn’t smooth it out. The colors are dull and earthy, with no bright highlights. If you like this loose, textured style, look up impasto.
