DescriptionThis painting, doing in an Impressionistic style, is a seascape composed of mostly brown, rust orange, red, and blue tones. In the foreground/midground is a small sailboat with two tall masts docked. There are two sails on the right, one a rust orange color, the other a greyish blue. On the sailboat there are 4 male figures in orange, yellow, and grey shirts. There is one sail in the back. In front of the boat is a small white fishing boat, with three male figures in it, the one in the middle wearing a white shirt. To the left of the sailboat is another small fishing boat, this one red, with one figure in it. In the background behind the sailboat is another small white boat with a sail. In the left background is an orange-brown structure where the boats are docked. The water surrounding the boats reflects their colors. The background upper third of the image is a greyish-white sky.
