Ship on the Touques

Eugène Boudin, kb. 1888/1895

This painting depicts a scene overlooking a calm body of water. A large sailing ship with two tall masts and a dark hull is anchored on the water, its sails tied up. On the left, there are two people in a small, dark rowboat. In the background are distant shapes in gray, blue, and red. The water is light gray, with the dark reflections of the two boats. The sky is also mostly light gray, with some patches of light blue. The brushstrokes in the painting are loose and feathery, creating a sense of movement and depth.
