Drifting

Amerikanische Grafik 1869–1877, 1875

The artwork presents a maritime scene viewed from a distance. The horizon is positioned low, where the sea meets a hazy sky. Numerous sailboats and ships, varying in size, are scattered across the water, with their reflections mirrored on the surface. The brushstrokes are delicate and soft. The color palette is muted, dominated by blues and grays, with hints of beige. The sky occupies much of the scene.
