About the piece
Painted in 1655, this oil on panel work by Jan van Goyen exemplifies the tonalist phase of Dutch landscape painting. The composition is dominated by a sweeping, cloud-filled sky that reflects a golden light across the estuary, where various sailing craft are depicted with the fine technical detail characteristic of the period.
