About the piece

Painted in 1901 by Nicolau Del Negro, this oil on canvas depicts the Antigo Pavilhão da Polícia Marítima (Old Maritime Police Pavilion). The work captures a breezy coastal atmosphere through soft blues and sun-drenched terracotta tones, with the verticality of ship masts contrasting against the solid, light-filled forms of the architecture.
