About the piece

Painted in 1896 by Camille Pissarro, this work captures the bustling activity of the Rouen harbor with a characteristically soft, Impressionist touch. The composition focuses on the interplay between the massive steamboats, the reflective water, and the heavy plumes of smoke that merge into a misty, luminous sky.
