About the piece

Painted in 1886 by Jacob Maris, this cityscape captures the evocative light and moody atmosphere of a Dutch harbor. As a leading figure of the Hague School, Maris expertly balances the busy detail of the masts and hulls in the foreground against an expansive, cloud-swept sky that dominates the upper composition.
