This captivating work vibrates with the shimmering light of a tranquil harbor scene. The water, alive with overlapping patches of blues, purples, and warm oranges, gently mirrors the colorful boats and the softly hued buildings standing tall along the quay. The technique of pointillism is masterfully showcased here; tiny, discrete dots of pure color invite the eye to mix shades in a dance of optical vibrancy. The composition balances sweeping sea and sky with clusters of sailing vessels, their masts striking upward like delicate brushstrokes against the serene blue.

Emotionally, the painting exudes an intimate peace, a lingering breath of calm caught at the edge of day. The warm palette—golden yellows, sunlit pinks, and rich browns—sings a subtle ode to the gentle warmth of a coastal afternoon. Created in 1895 during a flourishing period of Neo-Impressionism, this artwork stands as a testament to the artist’s dedication to color theory and light effects, marking a poignant chapter in the evolution of modern landscape painting.
