Die Boje

Französische Grafik 1893–1895, 1894

The artwork titled "The Buoy (La bouée)" features a depiction of a harbor scene. The point of view is from the water, looking toward the buildings and boats along the shoreline. The horizon is placed high, with buildings in warm light extending across the composition. The style is characterized by pointillism, with small, distinct dots of color creating an effect. The color palette includes warm yellows, oranges, and reds, contrasted with cool blues and greens. Closest to us, a red buoy floats on the water, reflecting the colors of the sky and surroundings. In the distance, several sailboats are moored, their masts reaching up against a clear, blue sky.
