From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Oceano Nox is a 1895 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a man in a dark suit and hat, standing on the bow of a ship, grasping a rope with his right hand. The man is rendered in dark tones, with his face obscured by the shadow of his hat. The ship's hull and rigging are visible in the background, with the sea and sky blending together in a dark, muted color palette. The artist's use of bold lines and dark tones creates a sense of drama and tension in the scene. The man's pose, with his body leaning forward and his arm outstretched, conveys a sense of movement and energy.
