About the piece
Painted in 1871 by Lars Gustaf Sellstedt, this landscape depicts Buffalo Harbor from the foot of Porter Avenue. The composition contrasts the quiet foreground of canal barges and working horses with the rising smoke of industrial steamships. A dramatic, light-filled sky at twilight casts warm tones over the water, creating a sense of both movement and stillness.
