The Harbor of St. Malo at Low Tide

Britische Grafik 1839–1850, ca. 1850

The image shows a bustling harbor scene with large fortress walls and various buildings dominating the composition. Sailing vessels are moored on the left, with their masts rising vertically. The artwork is created with fluid brushstrokes, giving a soft quality to the scene. The color palette is muted with beige, brown, and grey tones, with hints of blue. People are scattered along the pathway and near us, and the background features fortified city structures with tall, pointed roofs and arched entrances.
