The Port of St. Tropez is a 1914 watercolor by Paul Signac, held at Brooklyn Museum.
This watercolor painting shows a serene port scene. In the foreground, a body of water reflects the buildings and boats. The buildings, likely along the waterfront, are rendered in soft colors. Boats are moored in the water, with masts reaching towards the sky. The overall atmosphere is calm, with gentle colors used throughout the painting. A quiet visual detail is the reflection of the buildings in the water, which adds depth to the scene. The use of soft colors also contributes to the peaceful ambiance.
