About the piece

Painted during his early travels, Wassily Kandinsky captures the industrial atmosphere of Rotterdam with a sophisticated, muted palette. This 1904 work demonstrates his early mastery of light and texture, using heavy impasto to convey the movement of water and the mass of the sailing vessels.
