About the piece

Painted in 1903 by Dominik Skutecký, this vibrant oil study captures the shipyard at Capo d'Istria. The composition balances the heavy, dark mass of a hull in progress against the luminous, pale blues of the Adriatic sky and sea, showcasing the artist's mastery of light, texture, and the maritime spirit.
