About the piece

Painted in 1906 by Auguste Oleffe, this work captures the fleeting light of a sunset with thick, expressive brushstrokes. The warm glow of the sun contrasts against the dark, silhouetted harbor structures and the cool tones of the sky, creating a deeply atmospheric coastal scene typical of Belgian Impressionism.
