About the piece

Painted in 1885, this work captures the bustling De Ruijterkade in Amsterdam during Van Gogh's early career. The composition utilizes a somber, tonal palette of grays and greens to evoke a damp, overcast day, highlighting the industrial silhouettes of steamships and masts against a thick sky.
