About the piece
Painted in 1895 by Charles Cottet, this atmospheric harbor scene features dark silhouettes of boats against a luminous twilight sky. The masterful play of light on the water's surface creates a vibrant tapestry of color, providing a striking contrast to the quiet, grounding presence of the seafaring figures and vessels.
