The painting unfolds a sun-drenched harbor scene, where the light shimmers and dances across the water. A large sailing vessel, its sails billowing gently, dominates the central space, bathed in a soft, golden light. The artist's distinctive technique of applying tiny, distinct dots of color—pointillism—creates a vibrant, almost mosaic-like texture that captures the play of light and atmosphere. In the distance, the bustling port, with its buildings and other boats is visible, creating a sense of depth and activity. The color palette is dominated by warm hues of pink, yellow, and blue, punctuated by touches of green and orange that enhance the overall sense of serenity.
