A Seascape at Sunset

Französische Grafik 1879–1887, 1880-as évek

The image shows a maritime scene with sailboats on a calm body of water. The horizon line is positioned one-third from the top of the canvas. Several sailboats are on the horizon against a sunset sky of soft blues, oranges, and pinks. The water below reflects the sky's colors. The largest sailboat is on the right side in the distance, with smaller boats on the left. The color palette is subdued and harmonious, emphasizing the interaction between sky and sea.
