About this work

This print shows three scenes side by side. On the left, two men in Western-style clothes stand by a harbor with tall ships and a smaller boat. In the middle, a man in a dark uniform walks past a bright green lighthouse and a group of women in traditional dresses. On the right, women in long skirts and hats gather near a building, while a man leans against a wall. Notice how the colors pop—bright blues for the water, bold reds and greens for clothes and buildings. The mix of Western ships and Eastern clothing hints at a time when cultures were meeting. Look up Impressionism next to see how this style connects to everyday scenes.
