This watercolor shows a quiet harbor scene after rain. A small boat with two people rows toward the shore, while larger ships sit anchored in the misty water. The sky is pale, and the hills in the distance fade into soft gray. The artist used light, loose brushstrokes to capture the damp, hazy feel of the air. This style was common in Impressionism and Realism, where details blended into the overall mood. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
