DescriptionThe image is a seascape executed in an Impressionistic style. Horizontal bands of color delineate water and sky; a blue band, purple highlights, and green band form the water below while a purple band forms the sky above. The lower edge has been left uncolored revealing the gray-green laid paper. There are two distinct gestures of white in the middle ground on the left, suggesting sailboats.On View
