This watercolor shows a city by the water. Two people stand near the shore, talking. Trees and old tombstones dot the rocky ground in front of them. The city stretches out across the bay, with boats floating on the water and buildings packed together. The artist focused on the light hitting the buildings and water. The scene looks calm, with soft colors and a quiet mood. Look up Romanticism next to see how this style used emotion in landscapes.
