Port is an unspecified by Ștefan Popescu, held at Gavrilă Simion Eco-Museum Research Institute Tulcea - Art Museum.
This painting shows a busy waterway lined with tall, narrow buildings. Boats with red sails and dark hulls float along, some packed with people. The sky is pale and cloudy, while the buildings glow in warm pinks and yellows. Shadows stretch across the water, and a few small figures sit on the docks or in the boats. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured, almost rough look. This technique is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the strokes.

Ștefan Popescu painted quiet scenes from the 1920s, blending everyday places with soft light.
