About the piece

Created around 1840 by Harro Harring, this gouache painting captures a dynamic maritime moment. The work features a small sailing vessel manned by figures navigating near the 'St. John's Highlands', with dramatic peaks rising in the background. The cool blue tones of the water and distant mountains contrast with the warm browns of the boat, creating a balanced and evocative coastal scene from the Brasiliana Iconográfica collection.
